Homemade Beef Stock Recipe

how to make beef stock recipe

If you’ve been into real food for any amount of time,

…then you’ve probably heard lots of people reference homemade beef stock or bone broth.

Why does everyone get so excited over it?

First off, homemade bone broth is one of the most nourishing things you can make. Homemade beef stock promotes healthier digestion, reduces inflammation, inhibits infection, and promotes healthy bones and joints.

Secondly, homemade beef stock is much healthier and more nourishing than store bought broth or stock. Even those “organic” store broths are just missing the mark. They might not be loaded with the typical MSG, but they are missing out on all the nutrition of homemade bone broth.

And finally, bone broth or beef stock incredibly frugal and simple to make. Where else can you turn leftover bones and scraps of veggies into such a valuable food item? If you know how to toss ingredients into a slow cooker and press the start button, then you can do this!

I prefer to use my slow cooker when making stock. It can definitely be done with a regular stovetop, but I don’t trust myself to leave a simmering pot on my stove for 24 hours without causing a huge mess or burning something down…

There are many different ways to make beef stock, but here I how I do it. It’s definitely not an exact science, and personally, I think it is one of the easiest real food components you can make.

Homemade Beef Stock Recipe

  • 2-3 lbs of beef bones (any bones will work, but I especially like knucklebones and oxtails, since contain a large amount of gelatin, which makes homemade stock especially nourishing)
  • 3 carrots, coarsely chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, coarsely chopped
  • 1 large onion, coarsely chopped
  • 6 cloves of garlic
  • 10 black peppercorns
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Fresh or dried herbs of your choice (my favorites are beef stock seasonings are rosemary, thyme, sage, and bay leaf)
  • 3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • Cold water

homemade beef stock

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the bones in a shallow roasting pan and allow them to roast until sufficiently browned. They don’t need to cook completely, just develop a decent brown coloring which will increase flavor.
how to make beef broth
Wash and coarsely chop the veggies– don’t be afraid to include the carrot, celery, and onion tops. No need to throw them away! Fine dicing is not necessary– just coarse chop and go. I wash the carrots but don’t peel them.
Add the veggies and bones to your slow cooker and season with your choice of herbs and spices. Be careful not to add too much salt since the recipes in which you use your stock will probably already be salted. Also, if you store your stock for a period of time, certain seasonings and the salt may intensify. You can always add more salt later.
Cover completely with cold water and add 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (optional) to help the bones release some of their minerals and gelatin.
Set your slow cooker (or pot on the stove) to high and allow the stock to come to a boil, then reduce the setting to low and allow it to cook for anywhere from 12-24 hours.
There may or may not be some “scum” or frothy impurities that rise to the top. You can skim these off, if you wish. (I generally haven’t had to really do this)
After 24 hours of simmering, you are ready to strain your homemade beef stock.
I like to set a colander inside a bowl and place them in my sink. You could also use cheesecloth or a large strainer.
Carefully pour the stock mixture into the colander. I like to pour in a little at a time, then use a fork to smash the vegetables in order to release any extra liquid they might be retaining.
You could use your stock right away in a delicious soup, store it in the fridge for several days, freeze it, or can it. My favorite method of preservation is canning via my pressure canner, as it saves room in my crowded freezer.

Homemade Beef Stock FAQ:

Can you eat the vegetables that are left after the stock is strained?

I supposed you could, but we don’t. I figure that all the “good stuff” has pretty much been leached out of them, so I don’t imagine they would taste like much. However, the chickens love them, as well as the bits of meat that have fallen off the bone.

Why are we trying to make the stock have gelatin?

Not only is gelatin a trademark of a well made, gourmet stock, it also is incredibly good for you. Gelatin has been found to boost the immune system and assist with digestion, as well as having a myriad of other benefits. Eating chicken soup when you are sick may not be an old wives tale after all (providing you are eating real soup, not the stuff in the red and white can).

What if my stock DOESN’T have gelatin?

No worries– that happens to me sometimes, too. The stock will still be delicious and nourishing.

 

Why use vinegar?

Adding vinegar to your stock is said to help to extract gelatin and nutrients from the bones. I have never been able to taste the vinegar in the finished product and I don’t believe it effects the flavor much, if at all.

Can I do this with chicken?

Absolutely! Homemade chicken stock is just as nourishing and tasty as homemade beef stock. You can find instructions for homemade chicken stock here. And here’s a tutorial for homemade pork broth as well.

There is one downfall to making stock at home– if you allow it to simmer all night, it’s likely the smell will cause you to wake up hungry. But, I think that hardship is worth all the valuable nutrients that homemade stock brings to a real food kitchen. 😉

    I've made Chicken Stock many times, but I've been thinking about branching out to make Beef. Thanks for the tutorial. : )
    (BTW, I know one of the things the vinegar does is pull the calcium out of the bones. You may remember doing an experiment when you were a kid where you soaked an egg in vinegar and it turned all rubbery? That's because all the calcium was leached out. I thought that was pretty cool.)

      I can vegetable, beef and chicken stock every year. Ball Canning company has a good recipe in their canning book and I believe it is in their website. The only thing is that you have to cool the broth over might so you can skim off the fat content to decrease the risk of botulism.

    Could I use the knuckle bones 2X in the crockpot? I do this with chicken bones. I boil an entire chicken along with spices/veggies. When it is deboned, I put the carcass in the crockpot with water and more veggies/spices for a second round of broth. It is lighter in color, but still tastes great! Just wondering if I could do the same with beef bones? THANKS!

    Awesome post. In regards to the “leftovers” used to make the stock, I usually pick out any hard pieces such as onion ends or whatnot then throw the rest into the blender. It kinda becomes a nice beef mush that I use to make doggy biscuits and treats with. My German Sheperd loves his goodies from it. I do can up my stocks. For my family I use pints since it converts over to most recipes easier. Also After making stocks I let the stock sit in the fridge to solidify the fat which I take off before canning up, but the fat itself is used to render into either lard or tallow depending on my stock. I’ve done chicken, ham, beef, turkey.. soooo many differents kinds to make. If it is a meat product.. you can make stock from it lol. Love reading your posts!

      Hi Cat,
      I would definitely check with your local butcher- they will usually make you a great deal on them. I’ve also found bones at my grocery stores that have butcher counters. Those bones usually don’t gelatinize as well for me, since they are from factory cows, but it’s a start.

    I’m so glad I came across your site! I plan on roasting my beef bones in the morning for some stock and I can hardly wait! I do have one question. Does it matter what kind of vinegar is used? I have a aged balsamic, unfiltered apple cider, and regular white/red vinegar. Would one affect the body or taste of the finished broth over another?

    Hi Jill-
    I have 2 questions for you
    -Do you see anything wrong with keeping stock going indefinitely in the crock pot as long as you are taking some broth each day, replacing the water and swapping out the veggies every other day? That way you have warm bone broth ready 24/7 to drink…
    -If I roast a previously frozen chicken and eat the meat, saving the carcass in the freezer and then using to make stock (with other bones)- is that ok (that I have used bones frozen twice)?
    Thanks for the help!

    reply to comment
    • Jill Winger says

      June 24, 2013 at 10:10 pm

      Hmmm… I’ve never thought about the indefinite stock idea, but I can’t think of any reason it wouldn’t work… As long as the temp stayed hot enough to prevent mold, etc.

      And I think you should be just fine with to save your chicken carcass in the freezer until you are ready to use it. Happy stock making! 🙂

      Hi Stacy. My first contact with a “stock pot” was in the Royal Navy which I joined at 16 1/4, where I was employed as an officers Steward. I spent many pleasant hours in galleys, picking up skills that led me to become a chef. Your idea of a continuous stock pot is what we used, a 50 gallon (Imperial measure) into which all kinds of “things” went in, bones vegetable pieces, egg shells, etc. The result was continuously available liquid for soups, stews, etc. Now, at home, I keep any vegetable peels, and pieces such as the ends of carrots, egg shells, bones, etc in a bag in the freezer. Once a month, everything is simmered until all of the goodness is rendered out. The used pieces go to compost and the liquid simmered down to a highly concentrated liquid. This is then poured into ice cube trays and frozen. When solid, they go into plastic bags and are frozen. Useful for soups, etc., and many friends ask for left overs as I only have a small freezer and myself to feed and cannot use all of them by myself. By all means include the bones from your frozen chicken, they add flavour, as do many other things that are usually thrown out. However, remember if a food is completely thawed, it should not be refrozen. Make sure there are still ice crystals still in the product before doing so, for safety. Another thing. If you have carrots with tops on, the tops can be regrown as carrots, cut the carrot about 2.5 cm/1″ from the top and plant, or use them as a green vegetable, just add a little sweetener, honey is good, as they tend to have a slightly bitter flavour.

    I make my own stocks all the time. I always have a freezer bag going with veg scraps in it for stock when the time comes. What I love about this post is it taught me something I did not know before. – the cider vinegar addition to increase nutrients etc. from the bones was new information for me and I will do that from now on. I have always used the pot on top of the stove, but I think I will switch to the slow cooker method.. so much easier when you don’t have to keep an eye on the pot. Also allows more freedom to come & go as needed. Thanks for the post.

    In cooler weather I make stock on the weekends and freeze it in two cup containers. During the week I can pull out a container, pop it on the stove and add vegies and rice noodles. Hot soup is the ultimate, nourishing comfort food, and with the addition of chili, garlic, ginger and green leafy vegetables I think of it as a flu shot in a bowl. By the way, living in Asia I have discovered something called Shao Xing Rice wine, which you can buy at Asian grocery stores in the U.S. A half cup goes into all my stocks when they start to simmer and adds a flavor element that is delicious.

Lol You mentioned that you smashed out the juice held in the veggies (which I did :-)). However, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to run them through a juicer? I’m pretty sure there’s a cup or two left hiding in there! One other question: how much do you usually get per pot?

    Two questions…

    1. How much stock do you end up with from a stockpot full of veggies/bones? Seems like I simmer all day (and my stockpot is 10 qts), and end up with only about 6 qts of broth. Only enough for one batch of soup!

    2. Have you tried boiling your bones/veggies a second or third time? Or is there no more nutrition left?

      It’s hard to say about an exact amount–it does tend to boil down a bunch though.

      You can definitely reuse the bones–but I would do new veggies.

        April 3, 2014 at 4:27 pm

        I tried it! I boiled all the bones and veggies all of one day in a 20 qt and 12 qt. stockpot; that reduced it to more than half. There seemed to be a lot left in the bones & veggies as they drained, so the next day I covered them with water again (all in one stockpot, so a little less water this time) and boiled all day once again. It worked quite well. The broths both gelled, although the first days was more of a chunky gel, and the second day’s was a smoother gel. I forgot to taste them, but froze both together to use later. Not sure if I could get a 3rd day out of them–I was tired of them by that point.

    If you use a sided cookie sheet of bones: drain the stock after the 1st 24 hrs & put into a stock pot. Cool & refrigerate. Meanwhile put the bones back into the crockpot & add fresh veggies, spices, vinegar & water. Cook for another 24 hrs. Repeat this one more time adding the strained broth to the stock pot each time. The broth is a little less strong each time but by mixing them together they balance out. After the 3rd batch is done put the stock pot on heat & bring to a boil then fill canning jars @ process in a pressure cooker (as with all low acid foods).

    Have you ever heard of the Wonderbag? I own a large one and can fit a 10qt stockpot in it. I use it all the when I make my stocks. It is better than a slow cooker because it uses no electricity once the liquid is up to a full boil. I take it off the stove and put it in the Wonderbag as long as I want it to sit, and it is like it has been simmering on the stove, except no liquid is lost. I have left my stock for 24 hrs before and it is still steaming hot. The best thing is that for every Wonderbag bought, one is sent to a poor family in Africa to help them save time and fuel. The only downside is that it is huge and storing it can be difficult if you don’t have a lot of room. But I love it, and I love that it recycles car foam, reduces electricity and other fuel usage, and helps families in need.

    Can I use the fat off the beef broth as lard? Is it the same or similar to rendered fat? Or just throw away?

    There was a pioneer artifact, used now by some reenactors, that preceded the wonderbag. It is sometimes called the hay box. A wooden box is filled tightly with hay or straw, covered by rim-tacked cloth (canvas would probably be best). The underside of the box’s lid (best hinged, but belted and buckled would work) is similarly padded. Pressure is used to make an indentation that fits something like a dutch oven and the box lid holds the vessel lid in place. Boil your stew or beans with the morning campfire, place the vessel in its prefitted box, secure it, leave it inside your wagon or home and as soon as you camp or quit work for the night a hot meal is ready. Jill, you might conspire with your Christian to make one…as there is no ongoing flame, no risk of spillover or fire.

    Question… if you were doing this in an instapot, how long would you set it for?
    Thanks!

        Hello you never mentioned measurements of the dried spices? Could you tell us how much to use in the stock I’m making it right now! Thank you!
