Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 lbs beef bones
  • 1 bay leaf bay leaves
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 8-10 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Place beef bones in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15-20 minutes to remove impurities. Drain and rinse the bones.
  • Place the rinsed bones in the Instant Pot. Add bay leaves, apple cider vinegar, and salt.
  • Pour in 8-10 cups of water, ensuring the bones are fully submerged.
  • Close the lid and set the valve to seal. Press the Soup/Broth button and set the timer to 2 hours.
  • Allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 30 minutes, then manually release any remaining pressure.
  • Strain the broth through a fine-mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth into a large bowl or container.
  • Let the broth cool completely, then refrigerate for several hours or overnight. This will allow the fat to solidify on top, making it easy to skim off.
  • Remove the solidified fat from the surface of the broth. You can also use a gravy separator for this purpose.
  • Add salt to taste, if needed.
