I won't just buy it and toss it uncooked for him to slobber on, I want to at least "sterilize" it. Thanks in advance!

Buy the bone, knuckle bones (the joints) or shank bones are the best. Knuckle bones don't have as much readily available marrow and some dogs get the runs from that.
Buy the bone, bring it home, unwrap it and give it to dog. NO cooking involved. Watch dog enjoy bone.
Sterilizing it is cooking it. It doesn't need to be sterilized. Just give it to him. Dogs have shorter digestive tracts and things move through faster so they don't get sick from eating raw meat as we would.
If you must sterilize it then don't buy it. Get him a nylabone or pressed rawhide instead.
