Equipment

  • 6-quart slow cooker or large pot
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Glass jars with lids for storage

Ingredients
  

  • 2 long beef trotters with tendons along the bone
  • 12 cups water
  • 2 carrots coarsely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons chopped peeled celeriac optional
  • 4 bay leaves
  • 2 teaspoons salt plus extra to taste

Variation:

  • Substitute 4 pounds beef bones with tendon pieces attached in place of beef trotters

Instructions
 

  • Arrange the beef trotters (or substitute bones) into a 6-quart slow cooker.
  • Add the water, carrots, celeriac if using, bay leaves, and salt.
  • Secure the lid and set the slow cooker to low heat. Let the broth cook gently for 24 hours.
  • After cooking, remove the bones and let them cool slightly. Extract any remaining tendon pieces from the bones if desired to save for other recipes or for eating as a gelatinous snack. Discard or compost the bare bones.
  • Pour the broth through a fine-mesh strainer to filter out any remaining solids, such as vegetables, bay leaves, and bits of tendon.
  • Taste the broth and add more salt if needed.
  • Transfer the strained broth into clean glass jars. Once cooled, seal the jars with lids. Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 1 year.

Notes

  • When chilled, this broth becomes thick and jelly-like due to its high collagen content from the trotters. You'll notice a layer of fat rising to the top; skim this off before consuming the broth. The skimmed fat can be saved and used like tallow.
  • Alternatively, this recipe can also be prepared in a large pot on the stovetop. Simply simmer over low heat for 24 hours following the same method.
