How do I roast soup bones for beef broth?

[lynchyk]

I'm finally good at making chicken stock so now I want to use the soup bones I have from my 1/4 grassfed cow. (they give me the soup bones but this time I also asked for the "marrow" bones, thinking it was something different, so I got some other bones too!!)

Most of the threads say to roast the beef bones first and to roast them with some veggies. Do I just throw them in a roaster pan with veggies? DO I need to add any liquid? WHat temp and about how long? I believe roasting is a high temp but I don't want to waste the bones by messing it up so I want to make sure I do it right.

I normally do my chix stock in my crockpot, can I do the beef the same? Put in some vinegar, sit for 30 then turn it high then later to low?

Thanks,
Kelly

I do mine at 350, turn every 15 minutes, and just watch them closely. I don't think I've ever timed it. I don't add any liquid- by dong so you create steam and you don't want steamed bones, you want roasted bones.

Yes, you can use the crock-pot or a pressure cooker.

I roast mine @ 350 without any liquid or veggies. I let them get good a brown then I turn them over and do the same. I don't time them I just watch them.
