Ingredients
- Beef centre cut marrow bones
- Snails/escargots
- Red onion
- White balsamic vinegar
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Cherry tomatoes
Garlic butter
- Unsalted butter
- Olive oil
- Parsley
- Garlic
- Coarse salt
Preparation
Sous-Vide the Bone Marrow
Using the sous-vide stick preheat a large pot of water to 155°F.
Dry the bone marrow, sprinkle with salt, then transfer to vacuum seal bags ensuring that the bones do not overlap.
Seal the bags, then use the vacuum pump to remove the air.
Submerge the bags in the preheated water and cook for 1 hour.
Prepare the Snails
While the bones are being sous-vide, remove the snails from the tin, and drain the liquid. In a small pot of boiling water, quickly blanch the snails for 30 seconds, then place them in a bowl with ice water to wash off brine. Drain water and set aside.
Prepare the tomatoes and onions
In a small bowl combine the red onions, white balsamic, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Toss to combine and let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature. Add the tomatoes and toss to combine. Set aside until ready to serve.
Prepare the Garlic Butter
Place all the garlic butter ingredients into a mini food processor and blitz to combine. Set aside.
Finish Preparations
When the bones have finished in the sous-vide bath, carefully remove them from the bag and place them on a sheet pan.
Preheat the broiler.
In a small skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of garlic butter over low heat. Add the snails and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until heated through. Keep warm until ready to serve.
While the snails cook, use a blowtorch to char the bone marrow. Alternatively place the sheet pan under a preheated broiler for 3 to 4 minutes to char them.
Assemble the dish
Spoon the escargot butter over the bone marrow, sprinkle with the chopped tomatoes & red onions. Sprinkle with capers, lemon zest, chopped parsley & chopped chives.
Finish with chive flowers (optional) and serve with garlic toast.
Enjoy as is or combine a little of everything on the garlic toast for extremely tasty crostini.
Benefits of Sous-Vide Cooking Bone Marrow
- Precise sous-vide cooking temperatures will ensure the marrow will not overcook and liquefy. When cooked, marrow should have a buttery, creamy texture also known as “meat butter”
- Sous vide cooking is a reliable, low temperature method that will prevent the marrow from shrinking.
