Description

This Instant Pot beef bone broth simmers with vegetables, peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cloves, which add warmth and incredible depth of flavor.

Ingredients

3 pounds beef bones
2 medium carrots, roughly chopped
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
1 medium head garlic, halved crosswise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 fresh bay leaves
8 cups water, or more as needed to cover
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
3 whole cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2 Place beef bones on a large rimmed baking sheet.
3 Bake in the preheated oven until bones are browned and charred in spots, about 40 minutes, turning once halfway through.
4 Transfer bones to an 8-quart multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot). Add carrots, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, and bay leaves; pour in enough water to cover. Select Sauté function and bring to a boil, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.
5 Skim the top of liquid to remove any foamy bits and impurities; discard. Add peppercorns, coriander seeds, and cloves. Cancel Sauté function.
6 Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions and seal the steam release handle; set the timer for 2 hours. Allow 30 minutes for pressure to build.
7 Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 30 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, 1 to 2 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
8 Place a large fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth over a large pot or 8-cup liquid measure. Remove and discard bones from broth, then pour into the prepared strainer. Press on solids until all liquid has drained. Discard solids; skim off any fat from surface, if needed, and stir salt into broth.
9 Divide among glasses and serve hot or let cool to room temperature, about 45 minutes, then store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
