Super duper easy beef broth from scratch

 When I say "super duper easy" I mean it.
I have never made beef broth from bones before and let me tell ya, there's nothing to it. Really.
Especially if you're using a crock pot. Throw the stuff in, walk away. Done. Here's how I did it:

   
 Rough chop the veg
 Look at that meat!
  Fill with cold water
Boil, boil, boil...
Drain the junk.
Voila!

Yummy, warming Beef Broth

bunch of beef bones
1 onion with skin, roughly chopped
2 carrots, roughly chopped
3 celery stalks with tops, chopped
10 peppercorns
3 bay leaves
8 garlic cloves, smashed
 pinch of salt
herbs of any kind (I used a rosemary sprig, thyme & parsley)
cold water

Put all the ingredients in your crock pot and set on high for (approx) 10 hours. Make sure there is enough water in it at all times. All crock pots are different, so keep an eye on it.

Note: For an extra step you could brown the bones in the oven first- it'll brown the beef and give a richer flavor.
