Rich, deeply savory, and made entirely from whole ingredients, this bone broth is the kind of kitchen project that rewards you for days. Roasting the beef bones first is the secret move here — that 30-minute blast in a hot oven builds a dark, caramelized crust that translates directly into a broth with serious depth and color. The pressure cooker then does the heavy lifting, coaxing out collagen and minerals in a fraction of the time a stovetop simmer would take. Every ingredient in the pot — bones, vegetables, apple cider vinegar, peppercorns, bay leaves — is naturally free of gluten, so there's no label-scanning or substitution gymnastics required. The vinegar is a quiet workhorse here, helping to draw minerals from the bones without leaving any noticeable flavor behind. When the broth gels in the fridge, that's your sign the collagen extraction worked, and you've got something genuinely nourishing on your hands. Use it as a sipping broth, a base for soups and stews, or anywhere you want to add body and flavor without reaching for a store-bought carton full of questionable additives.

Ingredients

8 servings

3 lb beef bones (knuckles, marrow bones, or a mix)
2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
1 head garlic, halved crosswise
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 bay leaves
1 tsp whole black peppercorns
1 tsp salt
8 cups cold water, plus more as needed
small bunch fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the bones in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes, turning once halfway through, until deeply browned on all sides.
2
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.
