Uisgea, I had the same reservations at first. I’d heard great things about marrow, but I had to get past the way it “looked.”

I was a little put off by the ick factor of marrow at first–something about eating the gunk inside bones. Now I love it, though. When I worked in Vermont, we topped ribeyes with a marrow crust–think of maitre d’ butter, but with lots of marrow, smoked onions, and panko. Man, I was hooked. I just wish there were more real butcher shops around.

I had forgotten about that until I came across this recipe. I can’t wait to try it. It sounds easy and delicious. The recipe’s very clear, and the pictures are beautiful.

I imagine most marrow winds up in the trash, which is a shame. Maybe that’ll start to change.

I still won’t eat snails or oysters, though.

Oooh, so rich and delicious! I order this all the time at restaurants but it never occurred to me to make it myself. I’m definitely trying this one out!

When I grew up all ribeyes came with the bone and the marrow, even when I was 8 years old everyone gave me theirs. I really miss that cut of meat.

Linda, I hope you enjoy the recipe.

Thanks, Julie!

Lan, I’ve seen them in the meat section at some grocery stores, but not all. If there is any sort of meat counter, you could probably inquire, or just find a butcher shop in the area (my local butcher has very competitive prices…some things are even cheaper there).

Cookie, I hope you enjoy it!

Growing up in China, my grandma used to simmer marrow bones in water to make a wonderful broth. Then she would let me suck on them after the soup is finished. I LOVED it but haven’t had marrow bones for years now and definitely not cooked this way. I can’t wait to give this recipe a try!

i’ve had bone marrow once and i loved it. now that i am not living at home, i am at a loss sometimes to find the stuff my mom used to buy. it took it all for granted when my mom did the shopping!

does the local shoppers or giant or safeway have marrow bones in their meat section and i’ve always passed it by?

I’m a huge fan of bone marrows however have never made it myself. Your recipe looks simple, and the outcome looks delicious. I will definitely give it a go.
