Have you ever made homemade beef bone broth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of our goal with our farm is to make unique cuts of beef less intimidating. Beef Bones is a cut of beef that many people find intimidating, but they are a wonderful addition to any kitchen. With only beef bones and water, you can make flavorful bone broth that is the base of many soups, stews, sauces and gravy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although we know that it’s much easier to buy broth at a local store, homemade bone broth tastes so much better and it’s made with real food — beef bones and water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Bone Broth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bone Broth is nutrient-dense, collagen-rich liquid made from simmering animal bones (beef, chicken, turkey, fish, pork) in water for an extended period of time. In its most basic form, bone broth only requires bones and water to make. However, you can also add vegetables, fresh herbs and spices for extra flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, we will be focused on beef bone broth. But, once you discover how easy it is to make, you can make other broths, like chicken broth from chicken bones. Beef broth and chicken bone broth have many of the same steps. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Benefits of Making Beef Bone Broth:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bone Broth has had a sudden rise in popularity. Here are some of the reasons it is so popular:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Save money and reduce food waste. <\/strong>Many people throw bones away, but that\u2019s such a waste! You can save bones from steak, pork and chicken, and freeze them until you have enough for broth. Or, if you purchase<\/a> beef from us, your order comes with soup bones. Put those bones to good use!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Making beef bone broth is simple.<\/strong> To make bone broth, all you need is beef bones and water. That’s it. Bone broth can be made on your stovetop, slow cooker, or Instant Pot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Homemade beef bone broth tastes better<\/strong>. Once you make homemade broth, you\u2019ll want to drink it alone because it’s so good. Or, you can also use it when making any other recipe that calls for beef broth or stock, such as roast, soups, gravy, flavorful rice, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Beef bone broth is nutritious.<\/strong> How nutritious? According to the USDA Nutrient Database, 1 cup of homemade chicken or beef stock ranges from 31 to 86 calories, 0.2 to 2.9g fat, 4.7 to 6g protein, and varying amounts of calcium, iron, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and other minerals. Keep in mind that the nutritional content and daily values vary\u00a0of bone broth varies greatly based on the recipe, type of bone, ingredients and cooking time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Beef bone broth benefits and human body.\u00a0<\/strong>We know this next point may be somewhat controversial, so before we share it, please know we love a good cup of bone broth. There are numerous claims that broth is a health and beauty panacea that is beneficial to our joints, immune system, digestive tract, cures leaky gut, and helps skin. However, at this times, these statements are anecdotal claims. Unfortunately, there aren’t any scientific studies that say bone broth can aid in digestion, improve gut health, help fight chronic inflammation, cause joint health and relieve joint pain, make skin firmer, help with weight loss, or strengthen bones. The reason many of these claims exist is because broth does contain trace amounts of bioavailable vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, glucosamine, and collagen that our bodies need.\u00a0(Note: there are studies about the benefits of individual elements found in broth like vitamins, minerals and collagen. However, there are not academic studies that we are aware of about the benefits of “bone broth” itself.)\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    What is the main ingredient in bone broth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To make bone broth, all it takes is bones and water.  That’s it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We like to add apple cider vinegar to optimize the extraction of minerals from the bones. We also like to add vegetables and herbs for added nutrition, but all it really takes is bones and water.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    What\u2019s the difference between broth, stock, and bone broth? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Broth, stock and bone broth are very similar and the terms are often used interchangeably. The biggest difference between the three comes down to cook time and ingredients. The longer the liquid cooks, the more nutrients and minerals leach from the bones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
