Beef bone marrow is a classic pinoy favorite. We usually enjoy it when we have bulalo soup.

I was lucky enough to find some sliced beef shanks in the supermarket that had these big pieces of bone. I sliced the meat off the bone and set it aside. I did not add it in with the meat because the marrow would have disintegrated in the pressure cooker. I put the marrow in the pot once the meat had softened up.  After  a few minutes in the boiling broth, I took them out and drizzled some olive oil and salt. They turned out quite well, especially when mixed with rice.

A word of advise though; no matter how good a bowl of steaming hot bulalo can be, we must remember It's a health risk for people with high blood pressure. Eaten in moderation, it is a rare treat.

Beef marrow recipes online usually have the marrow fried like a steak over a hot pan. I'll try that method next time I get my hands on some beef shanks.
