Marrow bones are typically cut from the femur, shank, or tibia bone of the steer.
These bones are the largest bones on the animal. The smaller the bone the less marrow, and so it only makes sense to use the largest bones to get the most delicious marrow possible.
This straight bone also allows for the most uniform cuts and easy access to the marrow inside.
Bone marrow is very dense in nutrients and has a rich, creamy, nutty flavor.
Some describe it as thick beefy butter, and it is often called "meat butter!"
When it comes to marrow bones there are two ways to cook it.
*Our beef is frozen when fresh and packed in a vacuum sealed package.
The cows here at Wolf Oak farm spend their time out on our pastures grazing on diverse grasses and clover.
We also over-seed additional types of forbs, legumes and shrubs for a well balanced salad bar for our livestock.
All that grass-fed goodness absolutely shines through in the quality, taste, and nutrition of our pasture raised beef.
