This is the best beef stock you have ever had! Roasted beef bones and savory vegetables cook in the Instant Pot or stove top for a amazing, rich stock that is perfect for all your favorite recipes that call for beef stock. I often double this recipe so that my oven roasting time can be used for two batches at once. Then I just leave on on the counter while I cook the first pan of bones in the Instant Pot. Or you can do one in the IP and one on the stovetop.This makes about 8 cups of broth

To Cook the Stock in an Instant Pot (About 2 Hours 30 min)
Scrape everything into the Instant pot. Add the rest of the ingredients. If you are sensitive to salt you can season afterwards. (The butter is only used in the stove top method to prevent foaming.)
Set the IP for 120 minutes on high pressure. It will take about 10-15 minutes for the pot to come to pressure.
Do a manual or natural release.
Use a tongs to remove bones and veggies. Strain all the stock through a mesh strainer. Discard solids. Discard them. Pour broth through a sieve to remove herbs and any bone particles that remain. Skim fat from top are reserve for another purpose. Or refrigerate the broth and remove the fat after it has chilled.
Stock can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to six months.
To Cook the Stock on the Stovetop (About 4 Hours)

Fill stock pot with hot water until bones are covered, plus 2". Bring to a boil on high, then turn down to a light simmer. Cook for about 4 hours. The butter will help keep broth from foaming. If water dips below the level of the bones add more water to keep them covered.
