I am ordering 4lbs of beef bones from Strauss free raised direct to make my first pot of bone broth. Do you roast the bones first & then cook down? How long do you keep it simmering?
Thanks in advance.

I’ve never done beef bone broth, just chicken. We usually keep it going all day (while we’re awake) for two days, and we add a couple of tablespoons of vinegar to help leach the collagen out of the bones. You don’t wind up tasting it.

We don’t roast the bones first, but many people suggest that you do:
