Ingredients

2 cross-cut beef bone marrow bones

2 cloves of garlic, minced

1 Tbs thyme, rough chopped

1 tsp salt

fresh ground pepper to taste

1 lemon or lime

capers-optional

Method

Preheat oven to 450 F. Put bones, cut side up, on a foil-lined baking sheet or a cast-iron skillet. In a small bowl, mix together garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. After about 8 minutes, sprinkle the garlic and herb mixture on the bones. Bake bones until the bone marrow has begun to separate from the bone, about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and finish with a little fresh zest from a lemon or lime. Cut a piece from the lemon or lime and give it a little pinch over the bone marrow. The acid from the lemon or lime with the fat gives a nice brightness along with a little zest. Capers are also a nice addition if you have them on hand. Dive in and enjoy!
