Cut Overview
About This Cut

Beef bones are sold mixed — knuckle, shin and neck — chosen for the right balance of marrow, cartilage and meaty residue. They are sized to fit a standard stockpot. Use them for bone broth, beef stock, French stews like pot-au-feu, or any recipe where you want a deeply flavoured, gelatinous liquid base. Always roast bones first at 220°C for 35-40 minutes before simmering — the Maillard browning is what gives the broth its colour and depth.

Indicative nutrition: Bones themselves are not consumed directly. Nutritional values shown reflect what passes into a long-simmered bone broth — primarily collagen, gelatin, minerals and amino acids. Exact values vary widely depending on bone-to-water ratio, cook time, and which bones are used. There is no FSANZ or USDA database entry for raw neck bones.

Slow-Simmered Beef Bone BrothStovetop / slow cooker · 12-24 hrs · Makes 3-4L
You'll Need
2-3kg mixed neck bones (knuckle, shin, neck) 2 brown onions, halved (skin on) 2 carrots, roughly chopped 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped 1 head garlic, halved across 2 bay leaves 1 tbsp black peppercorns 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar Cold water to cover (around 4-5 litres)
Method
1Preheat oven to 220°C. Roast the bones on a tray for 35-40 minutes until deeply browned. This step is what gives the broth its colour and depth — do not skip it.
2Transfer roasted bones to a large stockpot or slow cooker. Add vegetables, garlic, bay, peppercorns and apple cider vinegar.
3Cover with cold water by 5cm. Bring to a bare simmer. Skim any grey foam that rises in the first 30 minutes.
4Simmer uncovered (or low in the slow cooker) for 12 to 24 hours. The longer, the more gelatinous and flavourful. Top up with hot water if it drops below the bones.
5Strain through a fine sieve. Cool quickly. Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze in portions. Skim solidified fat off the top before using if you want a clearer broth.
Tip: Apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals out of the bones during the long simmer. You will not taste it in the final broth. Properly made bone broth sets to a soft jelly when chilled — that is the gelatin and the mark of a good batch.
