Ingredients

3 hours
4 people
  1. 2beef cheeks
  2. 1onion
  3. 3carrots
  4. 3celery stalks
  5. 300 mlred wine
  6. 500 mlbeef stock
  7. Salt to taste
  8. 1tbsp flour
  9. 3tbsp olive oil

Cooking Instructions

3 hours
  1. 1

    Clean the beef cheeks by removing the fat with a sharp knife. Dice the onion and slice the celery and carrots.

  2. 2

    We will be cooking this recipe in the oven. I used a cast iron pot. Preheat the oven at 180C.

    Add the olive oil and fry the cheeks for 2 or three minutes at medium heat until brown outside.

  3. 3

    Add the onion, carrot and celery and poach them for a few minutes until the onions are soft. Start warming up the beef stock in the meantime. Once the vegies are done, add back the cheeks.

  4. 4

    Add the red wine and beef stock. Stir for a couple of minutes. Put the lid on and introduce the pot in the oven.

    If the pot is too wide and the cheeks are not completely covered by the stock, flip them every hour.

    Ideally, they should be at least 2 hour and a half in the oven. If you are patient, an extra half hour will make the beef to melt in your mouth!

  5. 5

    Once finished, you can make a gravy with the stock and vegies. Add the stock in a sauce pan, add a bit of flour and mix well. Once it has thickened, add the veggies and blend everything with a food processor.
