🥩 Regenerative Ribeye with Bone Marrow Butter


Ingredients (2 servings)

For the Ribeye

  • 2 x 12 oz grass-fed, bone-in ribeye steaks

  • 1 tbsp beef tallow or ghee

  • 2 tsp coarse sea salt

  • 1 tsp cracked black pepper

  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional)

  • 2 cloves garlic, smashed (optional)

For the Bone Marrow Butter

  • 2 beef marrow bones (split, center-cut)

  • 4 tbsp pastured butter, softened

  • 1 tsp organic lemon zest

  • 1 tsp chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/2 tsp minced garlic

  • Pinch of sea salt


Preparation

Step 1: Roast Bone Marrow

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

  2. Place marrow bones (cut side up) on a foil-lined tray.

  3. Roast for 15 minutes, until marrow is soft and just bubbling but not completely melted.

  4. Scoop marrow into a bowl while warm. Cool slightly.

Step 2: Make Bone Marrow Butter

  1. In a small bowl, mash roasted marrow with soft butter, lemon zest, parsley, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt.

  2. Mix well and spoon onto parchment. Roll into a log and chill for 20–30 minutes until firm.

Step 3: Prep and Cook Ribeye

  1. Let steaks rest at room temp for 30 mins.

  2. Pat dry and season liberally with sea salt and pepper.

  3. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until smoking hot. Add beef tallow.

  4. Sear each steak for 2–3 mins per side, forming a crust.

  5. Lower heat slightly, add garlic and thyme, and baste with fat for 1–2 mins more per side.

  6. Cook to internal temp of:

    • 125°F (52°C) for rare

    • 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare

    • 135°F (57°C) for medium

  7. Rest steaks 5–7 minutes, tented loosely with foil.

Step 4: Finish and Serve

  • Slice bone marrow butter and place a generous coin on each rested steak.

  • Let melt slightly before serving.
