Beef Bone Broth

Beef bone broth is a savory, slow-simmered broth made by cooking beef bones with water, vegetables, herbs, and seasonings. Roasting the bones first can deepen the flavor and give the broth a richer color. It is commonly used as a base for soups, stews, sauces, and gravies, or enjoyed on its own as a warm drink. A well-made beef bone broth has a full-bodied taste and may become lightly gelled when chilled because of natural gelatin released from connective tissue during cooking. For food safety, refrigerate homemade broth promptly and use it within several days, or freeze it for longer storage.
