  • Total Time: 4 hours 45 minutes
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 pounds of beef marrow bones or veal bones, preferably with marrow intact
  • 2 large onions, quartered
  • 3 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt to taste
  • Cold water, enough to cover the bones
  • Optional: a splash of red wine or a dash of Worcestershire sauce for depth

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast the bones for about 30 minutes until browned and fragrant.
  2. Transfer the roasted bones into a large stockpot. Cover with cold water and bring to a gentle boil. Skim off foam and impurities for a clearer broth.
  3. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and thyme. Maintain a low simmer for 4-6 hours to extract maximum marrow flavor.
  4. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve once simmering is complete, discarding solids. Season with salt and optional flavor enhancers like red wine or Worcestershire sauce.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, simmer the broth for longer, up to 8 hours.
  • Use high-quality marrow bones for the best dark, intense flavor.
  • Save the extracted marrow for spreading on bread or adding to other recipes.
  • To enhance the horror aesthetic, serve in rustic bowls, dim the lighting, and garnish with dark herbs or blood-red sauces.
