Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by rinsing the beef bones under cold water to remove any impurities. Pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Chop Vegetables
Chop the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces. Quarter the onion and keep the garlic cloves whole, as they will add flavor but not need to be minced.
Cooking

Add Ingredients to Pot
In a large stock pot, place the beef bones, chopped carrots, chopped celery, quartered onion, whole garlic cloves, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns, and salt.
- 4
Add Water
Pour 4 quarts of cold water into the pot, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.

Bring to a Boil
Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
- 6
Simmer the Broth
Cover the pot partially and let the broth simmer for at least 4 hours. For a richer flavor, you can simmer for up to 12 hours. Check occasionally and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.

Strain the Broth
After simmering, remove the pot from heat. Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain the broth into another pot or large bowl, discarding the solids.
- 8
Cool and Store
Allow the broth to cool at room temperature before transferring it to containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
