Instant Pot Beef Bone Broth Recipe

Instant Pot Beef Bone Broth Recipe. Bone Broth is associated with enhanced immunity, anti-inflammation, soothing the gut, improving digestion, strengthening joints, and benefitting skin. This recipe is easy to make in your instant pot and you can store some of your jars in the freezer for future use.

I’m excited to share this instant pot beef bone broth recipe with you! If you are intimidated by this idea, don’t be! Initially I was scared of making my own, but once I finally did it I realized it really is not that difficult and very reward and economical.

A few years ago I was having gut inflammation issues and a nutritionist recommended incorporating bone broth into my diet. At first I just started purchasing it from the freezer section at Whole foods (Kitchen Witch Broth and Bonafide Provisions are my faves). I was afraid if I made it myself and had to handle those bones that I wouldn’t want it anymore. But I was wrong. I finally decided to give it a try myself and now I’m hooked. It is simple to make, tastes amazing, and it is more economical to make it yourself.

For this recipe you will need an instant pot, beef bones (I order mine from Good Eggs grocery delivery service because I’m too intimidated to buy them at the store…. baby steps for me, don’t judge) veggies, salt and pepper, herbs, bay leaves and a little splash of apple cider vinegar. I roast my bones before the instant pot step because word on the street is that the flavor is superior when you pre-roast.

You can store the bone broth in any glass jar but for freezing I recommend wide mouth mason jars, in my experience they don’t break as often.

Why Should I Use Bone Broth?

If you are wondering why you should think about having bone broth I can share with you some of the reasons that I personally am drawn to bone broth. Bone broth benefits include enhanced immunity, anti-inflammation, soothing the gut, improving digestion, strengthening joints, and benefitting skin.

When Do I Use Bone Broth?

You can use bone broth in place of regular store bought beef broth in most recipes and you can also just heat it up and enjoy a cup any time of day. I do this a lot and lovingly call it my “meat tea.” Sometimes I’ll drink it first thing in the morning, and other days I’ll drink it as a late night snack. You do you.

Warning: before you heat it, it often is pretty gelatinous looking- that’s a good sign! Don’t worry, once it is heated it will look like normal liquid.
