COOKING & PREPARATION:

Ingredients Needed:

Beef Cheeks

Olive oil

Salt and pepper

Aromatics (onions, garlic, carrots, and celery)

Herbs (thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves)

Liquid (beef broth, red wine, or a combination)

Preparation Steps:

Season the Meat: Generously season the beef cheeks with salt and pepper. Let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to enhance flavor.

Sear the Beef: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef cheeks on all sides until they develop a rich brown crust. This step adds depth to the final dish.

Sauté Aromatics: Remove the beef and set aside. In the same pot, add chopped onions, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Deglaze: Pour in your chosen liquid (like red wine or beef broth), scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. This adds flavor to the sauce.

Combine Ingredients: Return the seared beef cheeks to the pot. Add herbs and enough liquid to cover the meat about halfway.

Slow Cook: Bring to a gentle simmer, then cover and transfer to a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) or let it cook on low on the stovetop. Cook for 2-3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.

Serve: Once done, remove the beef cheeks from the pot and let rest for a few minutes. Strain the cooking liquid, if desired, and reduce it on the stovetop to create a rich sauce.

Serve the beef cheeks with the sauce over creamy mashed potatoes or alongside seasonal vegetables.
