Getting Started

Roast Bones First: For a darker, richer broth, roast beef bones at 200°C (400°F) for 30-45 minutes until deeply browned before adding to your baking vessel with water.
Low and Slow is Key: Bake your broth at a consistent low temperature, 120-150°C (250-300°F), for a minimum of 8-12 hours, or even up to 24 hours. This gentle heat extracts collagen and minerals without boiling off aromatics.
Use Acid: A tablespoon of apple cider vinegar added to the cold water helps draw minerals from the bones. The vinegar flavor will dissipate during the long bake.
Skim Fat (Optional): While fat is desirable for a low-carb diet, chill the finished broth, and the fat will solidify on top, making it easy to remove if desired. Save this rendered beef fat for cooking.
Low-Carb Aromatics: Stick to aromatics like celery, garlic, ginger, fresh herbs, and a small amount of onion. Avoid starchy vegetables such as carrots or potatoes, which can add unwanted carbs and sweetness.
