Print Recipe

This bone marrow butter recipe adds deep, savory richness to grilled steaks, transforming them into an indulgent treat with simple ingredients and easy preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large beef marrow bones (cut into manageable pieces)
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Zest of half a lemon
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of smoked paprika or dash of cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. Rinse the marrow bones under cold water to remove any blood or impurities. Pat dry with paper towels and place them cut-side up in your roasting pan.
  3. Roast the bones on the middle rack until the marrow is soft and bubbling with golden edges, about 20-25 minutes. Watch carefully near the end to avoid overcooking or drying out.
  4. Using a small spoon, carefully scoop out the marrow from each bone into a bowl, avoiding bone fragments.
  5. Add the marrow to the softened butter in a mixing bowl. Blend thoroughly with a fork or small spatula until smooth.
  6. Stir in minced garlic, chopped thyme, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.
  7. Transfer the mixture onto plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll into a log shape, twist the ends to seal, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  8. Slice rounds of the bone marrow butter and place them on hot grilled steaks just before serving to let them melt.

Notes

Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop marrow carefully to avoid bone fragments. Soften butter about 30 minutes before mixing for best texture. Chill butter at least 1 hour for firm slicing; 30 minutes works but is softer. Store wrapped tightly in fridge up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
