Cannabis Beef Bone Broth | Soup Edibles Recipe

Why buy a can or box of beef broth when you can make your own right at home using the very pieces you usually throw away? Whether you are scraping together leftovers from a T-Bone steak night or a ribeye dinner, this broth becomes so rich in flavor you’ll feel like you’re in Willy Wonka’s factory drinking a steak dinner. It is a hearty, nutrient-dense base for soups, a flavorful liquid for risotto, or a comforting beverage to sip on like tea.

Utilizing bones and trimmings is a small lifestyle change that has a big effect on reducing waste. Plus, this is a great way to use up that ounce of leftover cannabis from your last extraction. Whether you used that cannabis for a tincture, oil, or butter, you can still get the most out of it in this edibles recipe. By following these Stoner Strategies, you can create a super nutritious beef broth packed with heart-healthy fats, vitamin B12, niacin, zinc, and selenium.

Recipe Essentials

• Prep Time: 5 minutes

• Cook Time: 24 hours

• Makes: 6 cups

• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 8 cups Beef bones, connective tissue, and meat scraps

• 8 cups Water

• 2 tbsp Thyme

• 1/4 cup Salt (optional)

• 2 tbsp Ground black pepper

• 2 tbsp Rosemary

• 2 tbsp Parsley

• 1 tbsp Crushed red pepper

• 600mg Cannabis tincture OR 1 ounce previously extracted cannabis

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Start the Base: In a large pot, add the beef bones, connective tissue, meat scraps, water, thyme, salt, pepper, rosemary, parsley, and crushed red pepper. Bring to a boil while stirring occasionally.

2. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low. If using previously extracted cannabis, wrap it tightly in cheesecloth and add it to the pot now. Cover and simmer on low for 24 hours, stirring occasionally.

3. Finish the Broth: Remove from the heat. If using a cannabis tincture, add it now. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes.

4. Strain: Place a large bowl in the sink and set a strainer inside it. Strain the beef broth into the bowl.

5. Clean Up: Move the strainer back into the cooking pot. Let the beef parts cool for 15 minutes. Separate the meat from the bones and connective tissue; keep the meat for another meal and discard the bones/tissue.

6. Store: Taste the broth and adjust seasonings. Allow the broth to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Pro-Tips for Success

• The Stoner Strategies Secret: If you are using previously extracted cannabis (often called "AVB"), wrapping it in cheesecloth is a game-changer. It keeps your broth clear and free of plant sediment, ensuring a clean, professional finish to your edibles recipe.

• Potency Check: Unless you are trying to make a crazy-potent batch, don't double up on both extracted cannabis and tincture. Choose one method to maintain consistency in your cannabis edibles.

• Zero-Waste Living: Keep a gallon freezer bag in your freezer and toss in your steak trimmings and bones throughout the month. Once it is full, you have everything you need to start a fresh batch.
