How To Make Giada Bone Broth

Roast the Bones

1. Coat the Bones: Drizzle and rub the bones and oxtails with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to coat them evenly.
2. Roast the Bones: Roast for 20 minutes, until the bones are fragrant and golden brown.

Sear the Onion and Caramelize the Tomato Paste

1. Sear the Onion: Place the onion in the pot, cut side down, and cook for about 5 minutes or until both cut sides are a deep, even brown.
2. Caramelize the Tomato Paste: Add the tomato paste to the pot and cook, stirring constantly, until the tomato paste is caramelized and a shade darker in color, about 2 minutes.

Simmer the Broth

1. Assemble the Broth: Add the beef bones, oxtail, and the chicken carcasses to the pot and cover with the water.
2. Simmer the Broth: Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat as needed to just maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for 2½ hours, skimming any impurities or grease that may float to the surface.

Strain and Season the Broth

1. Strain the Broth: Strain the stock through a fine-mesh strainer.
2. Cool and Refrigerate the Broth: Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate if not using immediately.
3. Season the Broth: Before using or sipping, season with salt if desired.
