Keto Beef Bone Broth
Some people like coffee in the morning and other people like broth. This bone broth is a great recipe to make on a weekend when you have extra time, but it is a low maintenance item as you can sit-it-and-forget-it and it makes several quarts of broth. All the ingredients go into a large stockpot and then simmered all day to perfection. Divide unused broth into containers to freeze for later use. Feel free to add different herbs than thyme (like rosemary or parsley) and a bay leaf or two.
Please use 5# of beef bones for this recipe. The recipe amount below has been adjusted to reflect accurate macros.

Recipe Steps
steps 6
8 h 15 min
Step 1
Combine all ingredients into an 8-quart stock pot.Step 2
Fill the stockpot all the way to the top of the pot leaving 2”-3” of headspace.Step 3
Allow the pot to come to a boil, skim off any foam. Then bring the pot to a simmer and cook this way for 8 hours up to 24 hours. The longer the cook time, the more flavor and nutrients are removed from the bones into the broth. Add water to the pot as the water evaporates to keep it at the same level as when the soup first started. Taste adding salt to your taste.Step 4
Allow broth to cool in the fridge overnight and then scrape off some of the fat. I like to leave some fat for flavor.Step 5
Strain well discard any bones. You can save the meat and use it in another recipe.Step 6
Divide the broth into individual quart sized containers to freeze or portion out for the week.

I followed the macros on this dish and thought i am actually drinking over 800 Calories..then to find it's all wrong and the application calculated the actual ingredients including the meat ... one cup of beef broth without removing the tallow should be max 40 Calories and 10 grams of protein

From the comments this appears to be a greatly misunderstood recipe, which is unfortunate given that the nutritional value found in bone broth is found almost nowhere else. Salt isn’t listed as an ingredient but it’s essential—about 1/4 teaspoon per cup. Under-salted broth tastes very strange, or even disgusting. I only add salt when I’m ready to serve the broth because I might need unsalted broth for cooking, and also because as the broth boils down things like salt become more concentrated. I highly recommend this book: Nourishing Broth: An Old-Fashioned Remedy for the Modern World.

In the description it says use 5# of beef bones. In the recipe it says to use 2 1/2 # beef neck bones. Which is accurate? I’m excited to make this as beef bone stock can be expensive.

The calories are completely wrong, there is about 20 kcal is 200ml beef bone broth, you are not eating any of the ingredients just drinking the broth

This is the worst recipe I’ve ever tried. Dumped the whole thing.
SpectacularArugula717400 a year ago
While it might be an issue with ingredient quality or inadequate cooking time, I’d bet your batch was under salted. It takes a lot of salt to make bone broth—like 1/4 teaspoon per cup. Unfortunately the recipe doesn’t show this clearly. Also, you HAVE to peel your carrots or it will add a powerfully bitter flavor.

Nutrition value for the recipe must be wrong, my guess this is only adding all the Cal from the ingredients, but not subtracting the meat, carot, celery...., after straining

This whole recipe seems wrong. 5lbs of neckbones and 2.5 ozs of carrot. Why even bother with the carrot and where are you getting over 400 calories for this. You are not trust worthy.

Just checked commercial beef broth content for calories & it displayed 40 calories per cup!

is the calorie count for the whole pot?

Scroll to the bottom. Based on 100g weight of broth.

To really get the best out of any bone broth you should add a splash of apple cider vinegar, it helps leach out the collagen. Also when adding salt to taste make sure it’s Himalayan Pink salt or Celtic salt as it has extra magnesium and potassium.

I made this in my instapot. It’s really good. I had to add more salt tho.

Would I be safe to assume 1/2 cup to be one serving? I don't see what is considered a serving size.
Winning@Life 3 years ago
A serving size is 3.5 oz, less than half a cup. I see it on the recipe

If we drink 6 cups, at 400 calories, we end up with 3600 calories...how is that a fast? Something doesn't add up🤷
Kwohlgemuth 4 years ago
One serving is 1 cup. When fasting, Dr. Fung's recommendation is 6 cups per day.

I would freeze in ice cube trays to allow more flexibility in serving sizes later. Then store the cubes in ziploc bags. I used to do that with puréed vegetables for my babies. :-)

Who wants to end every other evening with bone broth. Would rather be dead. Would rather a few strawberries or plain yogurt from time to time
