HOW TO STORE FRESH BEEF MARROW BONES?
You should treat the bones as perishable meat. If you’re not eating them all immediately, please wrap them tightly and freeze. This way, you can keep them as long as you wish.
WHAT ARE BEEF MARROW BONES’ HEALTH BENEFITS?
Once thought to be sinful because of its high cholesterol content, this source of protein, rich in vitamins and minerals, is actually high in monounsaturated fats which decrease LDL (bad) cholesterol levels.
Also, it is full of collagen, which improves the health and strength of bones and skin. It is also rich in glucosamine, a compound that helps against osteoarthritis, relieves joint pain, and reduces inflammation in the joints.
WHAT’S THE BEST RECIPE FOR BEEF MARROW BONES?
BEEF BONE BROTH
Ingredients
- 2 kg of beef bones, preferably a mix of marrow bones and bones with a little meat on them, such as oxtail
- 2 medium unpeeled carrots (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 medium leek with a trimmed end (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 medium onion (quartered)
- 1 garlic head (halved crosswise)
- 2 celery stalks (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Place beef bones, carrots, leek, onion, and garlic on a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Toss the contents of the pan and continue to roast until deeply browned, about 20 minutes more.
- Fill a large (at least 6-quart) stockpot with 12 cups of water (preferably filtered). Add celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, and vinegar. Scrape the roasted bones and vegetables into the pot along with any juices. Add more water if necessary to cover bones and vegetables.
- Cover the pot and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to a very low simmer and cook with lid slightly ajar, skimming foam and excess fat occasionally, for at least 8 but up to 24 hours on the stovetop. (Do not leave on the stovetop unattended, simply cool and continue simmering the next day.) The longer you simmer it, the better your broth will be. Add more water if necessary to ensure bones and vegetables are fully submerged. Alternately, you can cook the broth in a slow cooker on low for the same amount of time.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let cool slightly. Strain broth using a fine-mesh sieve and discard bones and vegetables. Let continue to cool until barely warm, then refrigerate in smaller containers overnight. Remove solidified fat from the top of the chilled broth.
- Note: Broth can be stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator and up to 6 months in the freezer.
