We had a couple of weeks earlier this winter, when the whole family was under the weather and beef broth was on the remedy list for colds. The hot broth or soup can help you ease any harsh cold or ache. My kids became big fans, especially when I started adding Ramen noodles. Our beef bundles include soup bones, which are perfect for making healthy grassfed/grass finished beef broth.

We hope you will try our recipe and your family will love it as much as ours.

 

Ingredients:

Beef Broth

  • 2 3T soup bone packages (about 3 lbs)
  • 3 large carrots – roughly chopped
  • 4 stalks celery – roughly chopped
  • 1 onion – roughly chopped
  • 10 cups of water
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Directions:

  • Pre-heat oven to 375.
  • Cut up your veggies into large chunks.
  • Put soup bones and veggies on a cookie sheet and mix with 1 tablespoon of canola oil.
  • Roast in the oven for 45 minutes.
  • I don’t use any salt and pepper at this point as I want to be able to season my broth as I’m making other dishes with this delish liquid.
  • Put your roasted bones and veggies into the Instant Pot.
  • Pour in 10 cups of water and 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar.
  • Seal the lid and set it for 120 minutes on high manual.
  • Use slow release.
  • Discard bones and vegetables and store your broth in the fridge. (You can certainly use the meat from the bones in this Ramen).
  • The next day, your broth will have gelatin consistency and will have a thin layer of fat.
  • When getting ready to use the broth for your Ramen, stir the gelatin broth to incorporate the healthy fat, so you can measure 3 cups of broth.
  • The broth will last up to a week in the fridge or you can freeze it as well. I’m a big fan of using ice cube trays to freeze my broth in.
  • You can use the broth in sauces, soups, drink it..
  • Just two ice cubes of beef broth will bring a huge flavor to any of your dishes.
  • Since the broth will turn into gelatin, I typically delude it with water.
