Pistachio 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 first at high heat builds a dark, caramelized foundation that gives the finished broth its gorgeous color and complex, meaty depth. The apple cider vinegar is a quiet workhorse here — it helps draw minerals and gelatin out of the bones during the long pressure cook, so you end up with a broth that turns gloriously jiggly when chilled. Aromatics like garlic, onion, celery, carrots, and bay leaves round everything out without overwhelming the beefy backbone of the recipe. The pressure cooker cuts what would traditionally be an all-day simmer down to two hours, making this genuinely achievable on a weeknight or lazy Sunday. Store-bought broths can carry all kinds of unexpected additives and flavorings, so making your own means you know exactly what went into the pot — nothing more, nothing less. Use it as a sipping broth, a base for soups and braises, or a secret weapon for cooking grains and sauces with serious flavor.

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.

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.
