Rich, deeply savory, and built entirely from whole ingredients, this bone broth is the kind of thing that makes your kitchen smell incredible for hours. Roasting the beef bones first coaxes out a deep, caramelized flavor that forms the backbone of the entire batch, while dried shiitake mushrooms add an earthy, umami depth you just can't get from a carton off the shelf. Apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals from the bones during the long simmer, and aromatics like fresh thyme, rosemary, turmeric, and ginger round everything out into something genuinely nourishing. Store-bought broths and bouillons often sneak in additives and stabilizers ā including thickening agents ā that have no place in a clean, traditional broth like this one. Every ingredient here is straightforward and real, so what ends up in your jar is exactly what you put in the pot. After a 10-to-12-hour simmer, you're left with a gorgeous amber liquid that gels naturally when chilled, proof of all that collagen doing its thing. Use it as a sipping broth, a base for soups and stews, or anywhere you want to add serious depth without any unwanted extras.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the beef bones in a single layer in a large roasting pan and roast for 30ā35 minutes, until deeply browned on the surface.
Transfer the roasted bones to a 12-quart (or larger) stockpot. Pour off and discard any excess fat from the roasting pan, then add 1 cup of the cold water to the pan and scrape up the browned bits with a wooden spoon. Pour this liquid into the stockpot.
