Brine the Marrow Bones

Pre-Preparation

At least 24-48 hours before cooking, add 1 gallon of water and ¼ cup of salt to a bowl. Mix that together until the salt dissolves. Add your bone marrow to the mixture, cover, and place in the fridge. Let sit in the fridge for at least 12 hours, but ideally, 24-48 hours changing the liquid every 12 hours.

Step 1

Prep the Short Ribs

Starting at the top, slice the meat from the bone so that ¾ of the meat is off the bone. Do not fully slice off the bone! Take that loose meat and roll it back into itself to create a “tomahawk” shape. Using some trussing string, tie the meat roll to the bone until secure. In a bowl, mix together the seasoning paste and lather the ribs all over.

Step 2

Prep the Grill

Preheat the smoker to 275F for indirect smoking. Add some wood chips or wood chunks for added smoke flavor. Add your tomahawk short ribs to the smoker to cook for 4-5 hours until they are 205F internal.

Step 3

Grill the Bone Marrow

Grill the bone marrow for 30 minutes directly on the grill grate.  Then scrape the bone marrow from within the bones into a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients for the herb bone marrow sauce and mix together. Take the mixture and scoop it back into the scraped out bones. Place the bones into a skillet and set aside. Heat up your grill to 450F for direct grilling. Add the skillet to the grill and let bake for 3-4 minutes with the lid on until caramalized.

Step 4

Grill the Shirmp

Remove the trussing string from the short ribs, remove the beef, from the bones, and shred.

Step 4

Serve

Plate the shredded short ribs with the bone marrow on the side. Serve & enjoy!
