Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a roasting pan with cooking spray. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Spread tomato paste evenly onto beef bones and place in the prepared roasting pan. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Bake in the preheated oven until bones begin to brown and caramelize, about 30 minutes. This step enhances the broth's flavor. (30 minutes)

04

Step

Transfer the roasted bones to a slow cooker. Pour in enough cool water to completely cover the bones. Add the thickly sliced onions, roughly chopped carrots, crushed garlic, and bay leaves to the slow cooker. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Cook on Low for at least 24 hours, or up to 48 hours for an even richer flavor. The longer it simmers, the more nutrients are extracted from the bones. (24-48 hours)

06

Step

Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth into a clean container. Discard the solids. Refrigerate the broth for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage. As it cools, the broth will congeal due to the collagen content.

For a richer flavor, use a combination of beef bones, such as marrow bones and knuckle bones.
You can add other vegetables to the broth, such as celery, parsnips, or leeks.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can simmer the broth on the stovetop on very low heat. Be sure to check the water level periodically and add more as needed.
Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface of the broth during the first few hours of cooking for a clearer final product.
The cooled broth can be defatted easily by skimming the solidified fat from the top.
