Ingredients
- 1.2 kg beef bones - knuckles, tail, joints
- 5 bay leaves
- 1 handful black peppercorns
- 1 celery stalk
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 1 handful COARSE Himalayan pink salt (U.S. option HERE)
- 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar (U.S. option HERE)
Optional
- muscular meat of your choice - to save for a separate meal
- organic broth granules, organic stock cubes, or organic meat extract - to intensify the flavour and add umami
Instructions
- place the bones, and meat if using, into a pressure cooker, and add enough water so everything is 3-5 inches below the surface.1.2 kg beef bones
- bring to the boil uncovered.
- over the next few minutes, skim off the scum that will continuously rise to the surface, using a slotted ladle.
- incorporate remaining ingredients and seal the pressure cooker lid.5 bay leaves, 1 handful black peppercorns, 1 celery stalk, 1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 handful COARSE Himalayan pink salt, 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
- once pressurised, reduce heat to low and cook for 2 hours.
- turn off heat and allow total pressure release before removing the lid.
- discard vegetables and bones (or give your dog a treat), set aside the meat, and filter through a fine-mesh sieve into another pot or large bowl.
- adjust salt if required and let cool completely before refrigerating.
- once refrigerated, it will become more or less gelatinous (depending on type of bones used), with a layer of solid fat on top - you may or may not wish to discard it.
Notes
The broth will keep for 4-5 days in the fridge and can be frozen in Mason jars if required. Frozen broth will keep for up to 3 months.
If using a normal saucepan with lid on, or Slow Cooker, follow the same instructions, but extend simmering time to 4 hours. My Ninja Foodi Max does it all with ease (U.S. option HERE).
Unless otherwise indicated, use Metric Kitchen Scales to measure ingredients accurately (U.S. option HERE).
Macronutrients for this recipe are based on averages from various databases, plus adjustment for fat left in the broth. Fat and protein content will inevitably vary according to type of meat and bones used. Carbohydrates will remain ZERO.
