~ Bad To The Bone ~ Recipe

How to make it

---

• Rub down the bones,meat,carrot,and onion with oil,lay in a roasting pan.
• Put in a hot oven,roast,flip,you want the bone a good shade of color,but you don't want the oven so hot as that they are charred,might have to turn down the heat a tad,just keep a watch on em'
• Remove from oven and place in a stockpot,along with all that was attached to the bottom of the roasting pan,add enough water to cover the bones by a couple of inches,add the peppercorns,garlic,parsley,bay leaf,and celery.
• You don't want everything to become cloudy,so do not stir about as this cooks,just cover and simmer for about six hours.You may want to skim the scum.
• Remove the bones,and vegetables,take your stock and pour through a cheesecloth,reduce your stock down,adding a good stout ale.
• In the mean time you have aready marinade a Hanger Steak for about an hour or so,brush off the garlic,onion,parsley and oil,fry in pan,when done,you will be placing this on a plate,adding the sauce,and then adding sliced 'More Marrow' along side.(Some of this will need to be make ahead of time)
• To make the 'More Marrow'...you are going to have to have the bones 'Pipe' cut,soaked in warm water,then pop out the marrow,make a brine of salty water,soak the marrow for a couple of days,you will need to change the water from time to time to draw the blood from the marrow.
• The day your going to be taking stock,and making the hanger steak,you will take the marrow out of the brine,roll in flour,making very sure to cover completely.
• Now this is pretty important,cause you don't want your oil to hot,or,to cold...for one...if to hot,the cover will burn...and for the other...if the oil is to cold,it will just melt the marrow before it had time to become crisp.Now just before you think that they are about done,and nice and crisp...add butter...butter is always better :o)
• Slicing these into slices and laying down your stock,then the steak...All this is pretty dang good!
• Eating pure hot bone marrow,is something of a...decadent, primal,pleasure,giving the carnivore an ultimate delight.
• Serve any side of you choice.
• A Drink...Sure...One good strong ale,or,a musculare wine would be just fine.
• ~but~
• If you don't have the time to make your stock,and take care of the hanger...just fry up the marrow to a nice crispy state,slice,serve on top of a crispy toasty along with...a good ole' flaky salt,a slice of citrus,and a pickled onion.
• Either way...you'er goin' to have to break a bone to do it!
