Homemade Beef Bone Broth: What Are You Missing?

Published 2023-04-02
Beef Bone Broth is often a staple in our pantries, but we're not getting as much out of it as we should! With prices rising on everything these days, it's wise to squeeze every last drop of value out of what we have. Today, we're making 3 products (and a bonus) from one batch of bones. Even better, we're extracting so much flavor and nutrition to add to our future meals.

Join me today, and let's maximize our resources by creating the right product for the right purpose!

xoxo,
Carter

    Carter, you are elevating canning into “fine dining” status! I can’t tell you how exciting this is! ❤ we are all so blessed to be learning from you! Thank you for sharing!

    I didn't know you could make multiple batches, thank you for that. On a side note my friend canned on her marble counter and had several jars break after 3 to 4 uses. She now keeps the jars on a towel or large cutting board. She hasn't had a jar break since. Not positive it was the marble that did it but figured I would share the info.

    I did it! Thank you for sharing this tip. I now have 14 pints of Round 1, 7 Quarts of Round 2, 7 Quarts of Round 3 and 12 Quarts of Round 4 because I added the beef liver to this round since it was for my 2 large dogs. Once a month they will share a quart of beef bits and liver with broth or broth with beef bits or ‘Izzy bits as you called them’ to put over their dry food. Never in my life did I think I would get a kick out of Oxtails and Soup Bones and finishing a 4 day canning session with something for my big dogs. Repeating my days made me so much more efficient. I needed to get my processed in place and this project was exactly what I needed as a newbie.

    Mind blown over here. I have never thought to use the bones more than once . Thank you !
  • @Deauxneal
    This is the first I've seen of doing several batches. It's heartbreaking thinking about all the great broth wasted. I greatly appreciate you sharing all your wonderful knowledge. ❤

    That looks soooo yummy Carter. Just a couple of tips. You season the same way I do. You can always add more salt, but you can't take it out. When I butcher, I ask for the bones and ask that they cut them in 4 inch pieces. That makes it nice to fit in containers, the freezer and you are sure to get the nutrients from the marrow. I also, drain the fat and then deglaze my roasting sheets with boiling water, using a silicone spatula and save that for my Third batch. This adds richness back in and makes the sheets easy to clean. I usually get 60 pints and 20 quarts from a whole beef. If the beef was large I do 2+ batches. I Also use a commercial roaster that holds 40 quarts and my oven to cook the broth. This is like doubling Carter's recipe for the other ingredients. BTW this is a winter job, when you don't mind the additional heat in the house.
  • I love all your tips! Especially making several more runs with the bones to get different flavors. I just made bone broth and didn’t even think of doing that! Your videos are great ☺️ Another idea would be French onion soup, that’s my next canning attempt.
  • the more and more i watch you ..... just love you and all your info . you are my go to when i get on youtube . i have been wanting to make beef and chicken broth for a year now . i work soooo much but i have a week off july 4th week so i hope to do this ! fingers crossed . keep doing you , you are great !!

    hello Carter. hope the new year is starting off well. finished by bone broth with much success, with one hitch, i didnt have an electric roaster so i used two oven style roasters. difference for me is the roasters kept steaming away the liquid causing me to have to replace every hour or two. this resulted in a lot of the yummy broth collecting in the lid and tinfoil. so this meant i didnt get as much as you. I also only did two rounds. i have an electric roaster coming to me soon i hope. Followed your recipe to a tee and you are right! very yummy. I was still able to get 20 pints meaning each jar was a cost of $2.72 CAD per pint so i am still quite pleased with my results and will deff do this again. thanks again for all your great recipes and support.

    Oh Carter, you made me get out of my sweatpants and run to the butcher for bones! Bones are now in the roasting in the oven ;)
  • @celiaambrose9008
    This is the best video I've seen for making bone broth. I will have to order some bones and get extra jars/lids for this. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. By the way, I dry canned potatoes this afternoon. Just used up what was left from last purchase. I have 3 qts and 1 pint. Looking forward to making beef veggie soup this winter.
  • Carter are you a food scientist, all the information you give, all the studying of the food and information is great, learn so much from you , even if i dont can it ,i learn thank you x:face-red-heart-shape:
  • Best video that I have seen on making bone broth-I love how you explain the process! Thank you for sharing this
  • @aknavymom
    Carter! I just found your channel earlier this evening, and I've watched several - but I must say...the bone broth video? OMG...I was a one and done, but no more. I was stunned at how much you got out of those bones, and how utterly beautiful the first and second run were. I also use a big roaster, but I'll absolutely be doing things differently from now on! P.S. Showed hubs the trailer and he wondered where your canning pantry was. Later, I found the short that revealed the crawl space. I promptly went to hubs, told him, then informed him no way was he building that in our crawl space! He laughed, because he knows I refuse to go down there. *shudder*. LOVE your channel and your easy, open way you have about you.
  • Thank you for this informative video I’ve never made bone broth and I haven’t bought any either because it’s so expensive I would like to plan to purchase some bones from a good butcher because I want the steer to have been fed and raised healthy you can’t tell the life of a steer from the grocery store bones so thank you for this video and I would like to make some bone broth because if it’s healing properties I’m not a fancy cook I would probably just use all of it for a bone broth to drink or a few simple dishes thank you very much

    Bone broth is amazing. We drink it when we get sick-so nourishing.
  • @GardeningWarrior
    I just finished 1 round of veggie lamb bone broth stewing and still have more veggies to make into broth and more lamb to stew down for soups and then roast the bones and stew for even more for my bone broth.
