Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces beef marrow bones (center-cut)
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 4 pieces crusty bread (e.g., baguette, sliced and toasted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Place the marrow bones upright (cut side up) on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced evenly apart.
Lightly sprinkle kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper over the exposed marrow.
Transfer the baking sheet to the oven and roast the bones for 15-20 minutes, or until the marrow is golden brown and bubbling slightly. Be careful not to overcook, as the marrow can become greasy.
While the bones are roasting, finely chop fresh parsley and mix it with lemon juice in a small bowl. Set aside.
Toast the slices of crusty bread until golden and crisp. Keep them warm.
Once the bones are done roasting, remove them from the oven and let them cool for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the roasted marrow bones hot with the parsley-lemon mixture sprinkled on top and the toasted bread on the side.
To enjoy, use a small spoon or knife to scoop the marrow out of the bones and spread it onto the bread. Optionally, top with more parsley mixture for extra freshness.
