Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef marrow bones
- 4 cups Low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Celery stalk
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.5 cup Red wine
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the beef marrow bones on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes until they are nicely browned.
While the bones are roasting, finely chop the onion, carrot, and celery. Mince the garlic cloves.
Once the bones are roasted, transfer them to a large pot. Drain off any excess fat.
In the same pot, add the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 minutes until it darkens slightly.
Deglaze the pot with red wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom. Let it reduce by half.
Add the roasted bones, chicken broth, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, black peppercorns, and salt to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then lower heat to a simmer.
Simmer the mixture uncovered for about 90 minutes, occasionally skimming any foam or fat from the surface.
Remove the bones from the pot and discard them. Strain the sauce through a fine-mesh strainer into another pot, discarding the solids.
Continue simmering the strained sauce to reduce further if a thicker consistency is desired.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, if needed.
Stir in freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm over meat or roasted vegetables for a luxurious finish.
