Coconut Free Pressure Cooker Bone Broth
Rich, deeply savory, and packed with collagen, this pressure cooker bone broth is the kind of kitchen project that pays dividends all week long. Roasting the beef bones at high heat before they ever hit the pot is the secret weapon here — that step builds a dark, caramelized depth that you simply can't rush or fake. Apple cider vinegar goes in early to help draw minerals and gelatin out of the bones, so by the time the broth is done, it should set up like jello when chilled — a sign you've done everything right. Aromatics like carrot, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns round out the flavor without any fuss or exotic ingredients. Store-bought broths and stocks can be a minefield of hidden additives and natural flavors with murky origins, but every single thing in this recipe is straightforward and easy to verify. The pressure cooker cuts what would traditionally be an all-day simmer down to a couple of hours, making this genuinely achievable on a weeknight. Use it as a sipping broth, a base for soups and stews, or anywhere you'd reach for stock — it freezes beautifully and makes everything taste better.

Transfer the roasted bones to the pressure cooker. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and parsley (if using). Pour in the cold water — the liquid should reach no higher than the pressure cooker's max-fill line; add or reduce water as needed.
