Pork Free Pressure Cooker Bone Broth
Rich, deeply savory bone broth is one of those kitchen staples that makes everything it touches taste better — from soups and stews to simple grains and sauces. This version is built entirely on beef bones, so there's no need to sort through labels or worry about hidden pork-derived ingredients that sometimes sneak into store-bought stocks and broths. Roasting the knuckles and marrow bones first at high heat draws out deep, caramelized flavor before a single drop of liquid is added, which is what separates a truly great broth from a watery one. The apple cider vinegar does quiet but important work during the pressure cook, helping to pull collagen and minerals out of the bones so the finished broth gels beautifully when chilled. Aromatics like carrot, celery, onion, garlic, and bay leaves round everything out into something that smells incredible and tastes even better. The pressure cooker cuts what would traditionally be an all-day simmer down to two hours, making this genuinely achievable on a weeknight. Skim the fat, jar it up, and you'll have a golden, wobbling broth ready to elevate just about anything you're cooking.

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.
