Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 beef marrow bones
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Garnish

  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 lime juice of

Instructions

Soak

  • Soak the beef marrow bones overnight in salt water to help remove any excess blood. Once they have finished soaking, rinse in clean water and pat dry.

Preheat

  • Fire up your smoker to 300℉ (150℃). Add wood chips to coals or wood tray.

Garlic Butter

  • In a small pan over low heat, melt the butter
  • Remove from heat and add the minced garlic. Combine well and leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Season

  • Season the marrow bones with salt and pepper. Spread the garlic butter over the bone marrow.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange marrow bones on sheet.

Smoke

  • Transfer beef marrow bones to smoker grates and smoke to an internal temperature of 145℉ (63℃), about 40 minutes. The bones should be darker in color, and the marrow should have started to shrink away from the sides of the bone.

Cool Down

  • Remove the bones from the smoker and leave to cool on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes.

Serve

  • Either serve as they are or use a teaspoon to remove the smoked bone marrow and serve as butter of the gods. Garnish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of fresh lime.
