History & Culinary Lore

The Power of Bone Marrow

Bone marrow has been a staple of traditional cuisines worldwide, revered for both its rich, buttery taste and health benefits. Historically, it has been used in:

• French cuisine (os à moelle, often served with toasted baguettes)

• Italian cooking (ossobuco, slow-braised veal shank with marrow-rich sauce)

• Ayurvedic & ancestral diets, which consider bone marrow a nutrient-dense superfood

Bone marrow is loaded with collagen, amino acids, and healthy fats, making it a nutritious powerhouse that supports gut health, joint health, and brain function.

Pairing it with roasted garlic, fresh herbs, and high-quality steak results in a flavor-packed, deeply satisfying dish that’s both nourishing and luxurious.

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bone Marrow Butter

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

2. Place bone marrow bones upright on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until soft and gelatinous.

3. Scoop out the melted marrow into a bowl and mix with:

• Grass-fed butter

4. Meanwhile, heat a cast-iron skillet over high heat and add a tablespoon of butter.

5. Once the steak reaches 110°F, sear it in the hot pan for 45 seconds per side, ensuring a golden crust.

6. Remove from heat and immediately top with a scoop of bone marrow butter to melt over the steak.

Step 3: Roast the Potatoes & Asparagus

1. Toss potato wedges with truffle oil, Parmesan, rosemary, and salt, then roast at 400°F (200°C) for 25 minutes.
