Finding beef bones with marrow can be a challenge but lucky for me we buy a side of beef every year and I have them cut the bones with the marrow in them for me, after all we already paid for it so why not use them.
Bone marrow has many health benefits and is usually an expensive dish at restaurants. Bone marrow is full of collagen which improves health and strength of our bones and skin. It has glucosamine which helps with osteoarthritis, joint pain and inflammation. It also has vitamin A which supports healthy vision, the immune system and skin health.
Place parchment paper or foil on a large sheet pan that has an edge.
Place the bones with the marrow facing up even if you have the bones cut lengthwise. Lightly sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper.
Bake in a preheated 450ยบ oven for 20 minutes depending on the size of the bone. A couple of mine were cut thin and they cooked too long and the marrow turned to a liquid. If the marrow begins to bubble on the surface it should be done.
Remove the bones to a plate and serve with toast, tortilla or pita chips, (or whatever you prefer) or eat with a spoon, which is what I love to do.
When I was a kid and we had round steak, which has one small round bone with marrow, we would fight over who would get the marrow each time. We mostly took turns from what I remember but my dad had it the most.
***If the bones are bloody, are not trimmed of tendons and fat then you must clean them first. This will draw out excess blood and any impurities. To do this make a solution of 1 cup water to 1 Tbsp. kosher salt, enough to cover the bones and then soak for 6-8 hours in the refrigerator. Discard the solution then allow the bones to air dry before baking.***
