Snuggling up with a warm mug of beef broth is one of the best parts of winter and it's not as hard to make as you might think. All it takes is a little time and some top-notch ingredients. I recently made a batch using about 4 lbs. of our beef marrow bones, onions and garlic from the farmers market, garlic, organic celery, salt, and pepper.
I like to broil the bones with the onions before putting them into the crock pot - it brings out a deeper flavor in the broth. For this batch, I spread about 4 pounds of marrow bones on a cookie sheet and put them in the oven on broil for about 10 minutes on each side.
After broiling, I transfer the roasted bones over to a pressure cooker or crock pot, cover them with water, and season with onions, garlic, celery, salt, and pepper. I cooked this batch for about 4 hours in the pressure cooker. If you're using a crock pot I'd cook them for about 10 hours.
I poured the contents of the pot through a colander into a pitcher and let it cool to allow the fat to separate from the broth. Once it was cooled, I poured it into some jars.
Bone broth is loaded with collagen and minerals. You can use it in any recipes calling for beef broth, or just have a tasty mug to start your day.
