Ingredients
Method
Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced.
Place beef bones in a roasting pan; roast for 30 minutes or until golden.
Transfer bones to a 5-litre (20-cup) slow cooker set on the lowest setting. Add onion, celery, thyme, black peppercorns and 3.5 litres (14 cups) filtered water as needed. Add vinegar; cook, covered, for 16 hours.
Strain stock through a muslin-lined sieve into a large heatproof bowl; discard solids. Cool. Cover; refrigerate for 12 hours. Skim and discard surface fat before using the beef bone broth.
Test Kitchen tip
Broth may solidify to jelly due to the gelatine from the bones.

This beef bone broth recipe can be made up to 3 days ahead; cover and store in the fridge. Broth can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
