Bone Marrow Steak: Forgotten Luxury Making a Comeback

Directions

There’s something deeply primal about the act of roasting a steak, slicing into its perfectly seared crust, and spooning a rich, glistening dollop of bone marrow over the top. It’s bold. It’s ancient. And it might be the most luxurious thing you’ve never tried.

At Ferguson Farms, we believe in honoring the whole animal—and bone marrow steak is a perfect expression of that. It’s not just about flavor (though it’s incredible). It’s about nourishment, zero waste, and a return to real food—simple, nutrient-dense, and soul-satisfying.

Let’s dig in.

🥩 What Is Bone Marrow Steak?

Bone marrow steak isn’t a specific cut—it’s more of a concept. Typically, it refers to any high-quality steak (like ribeye or tomahawk) that’s served with roasted beef marrow bones on the side or with marrow melted on top.

The result? A juicy, seared steak elevated with velvety, umami-packed marrow that melts like butter and adds an unbeatable richness.

🍖 Why Bone Marrow Deserves a Place on Your Plate

In traditional cultures, bone marrow was prized, not discarded. It’s loaded with healthy fats, collagen, and micronutrients like:

Vitamin A
Iron
Zinc
Omega-3s and 6s
Glycine and other amino acids

But more than that—it’s deeply satisfying. It has that “stick-to-your-ribs” warmth you can’t get from lean meats alone.

Best of all? Our 100% Grass-Fed Marrow Bones come from animals raised with care on pasture, so you’re not only feeding your body well—you’re supporting ethical farming and regenerative land practices.

🔥 How to Roast Bone Marrow for Steak

Roasting marrow bones is easier than you think. Here’s our go-to method:

Simple Roasted Marrow Recipe

You’ll need:

2–4 Ferguson Farms grass-fed marrow bones
Sea salt + cracked pepper
Optional: fresh thyme or garlic

Steps:

Preheat oven to 450°F.
Place bones upright in a cast-iron skillet or baking dish.
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbs if using.
Roast for 15–20 minutes, until the marrow is bubbling but not completely liquefied.
Spoon it directly over your freshly grilled steak—or serve on the side with toast points.

🧈 Bone Marrow Butter (Next-Level Flavor)

Want to prep something ahead of time? Whip your roasted marrow with a bit of grass-fed butter, chopped garlic, and herbs. Chill into a log, then slice and melt over hot steaks, burgers, or even veggies.

🥩 Our Favorite Bone Marrow Steak Pairing

We love pairing roasted marrow with a thick-cut grass-fed ribeye, seasoned simply with salt and grilled over hardwood coals. It’s beef on beef—but not in a heavy way. The lean, clean taste of grass-fed steak is the perfect balance to the decadent, earthy richness of the marrow.

The best part? There’s no waste. After scooping out the marrow, toss those empty bones into a stockpot with water, vinegar, and aromatics. Boom—instant broth base.

🌿 Whole-Animal Nourishment, the Way Nature Intended

At Ferguson Farms, we’re all about reconnecting people with real food—whether it’s a clean ribeye, rich marrow, or collagen-rich broth made from scratch.

Bone marrow steak reminds us that nothing should be wasted, and everything has a place at the table.
