Rich, golden, and deeply nourishing, this slow-simmered bone broth is the kind of thing that makes your whole kitchen smell incredible for hours. Roasting the bones first builds a deep, savory base, and the long simmer — anywhere from eight to twenty-four hours — coaxes out all that collagen until the broth gels beautifully when chilled. Fresh turmeric root and ginger give it a warm, earthy brightness that sets it apart from anything you'd find in a carton at the store. Every ingredient here — the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, fresh herbs, and apple cider vinegar — is clean and straightforward, which is exactly what makes this such a reliable fit for an elimination-style approach to eating. The vinegar does quiet but important work, helping draw minerals from the bones during that initial soak before the heat even goes on. Ladle it into a mug on its own, use it as the base for soups and braises, or freeze it in portions so you always have something nourishing on hand. This recipe makes eight servings, so a single batch goes a long way.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the beef bones in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30–35 minutes, until deeply browned on the surface.
Transfer the roasted bones to a large stockpot (8-quart or larger). Pour off and discard any rendered fat from the baking sheet, then add 1 cup of the cold water to the hot baking sheet and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon; pour this liquid into the pot.
