Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef marrow bones
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces shallots, finely chopped
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup red wine
• 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme sprigs
• 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Place the beef marrow bones on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the marrow is browned and bubbling.

Step 3

Carefully remove the bones from the oven and scoop out the marrow using a small spoon into a bowl. Set aside the bone marrow and discard the bones or save them for making broth later.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the chopped shallots and cook until they become translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and cook for another 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the red wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to reduce by half, which should take about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Add the low-sodium beef broth and the roasted bone marrow to the saucepan. Further reduce the heat to low and allow the sauce to simmer gently for approximately 15 minutes.

Step 8

Include the thyme sprigs and continue to simmer the sauce for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Remove the thyme sprigs, and use an immersion blender or a regular blender to puree the sauce until smooth and velvety.

Step 10

Season with freshly ground black pepper and stir in the chopped parsley before serving.

Step 11

Serve the sauce warm, particularly over steaks or as a luxurious accompaniment to roasted vegetables.
