| 4 steaks 1360 g | Ribeye steaks (12 oz each) |
| 0.5 cup 113 g | Unsalted butter, softened |
| 2 cloves 10 g | Garlic cloves, minced |
| 1 tbsp 4 g | Fresh parsley, finely chopped |

2 Method
Step 1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the marrow bones on a parchment-lined baking sheet, cut side up, and sprinkle lightly with salt.
Step 2. Roast the marrow bones for 15-20 minutes until the marrow is bubbling and soft but not completely melted away. Let them cool slightly.
Step 3. While the bones roast, remove your steaks from the refrigerator to let them come to room temperature. Pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Step 4. Scoop the warm marrow out of the bones into a medium bowl. Combine with the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and thyme. Mix until smooth, then roll into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.
Step 5. Season the steaks generously on all sides with kosher salt and black pepper.
Step 6. Heat the oil in a large cast-iron skillet over high heat until it begins to smoke slightly.
Step 7. Sear the steaks for 3-4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach an internal temperature of 130°F (54°C).
Step 8. Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes.
Step 9. Slice the bone marrow butter into rounds. Place a generous disc of butter on each hot steak, allowing it to melt into a rich sauce before serving.
💡 Chef's Tips
-
·
Ensure the steaks are dry before searing to achieve a deep, caramelized crust.
-
·
Don't over-roast the bones; if you cook them too long, the marrow will turn into liquid oil.
-
·
Use a cast-iron skillet for the best heat retention and even browning.
-
·
The bone marrow butter can be made up to three days in advance and kept in the fridge.
