Slow-cooked beef cheeks in red wine
On the surface, this is a basic stew, with diced beef, carrots, onions and celery, cooked in stock and wine. But the use of beef cheeks makes it another beast entirely. Because they're a hard-working muscle, they require long, patient cooking to become tender and when they do, they are melting and silky. Adding port to the red wine/stock reduction gives the braise a rich sweetness and a depth of colour and flavour.
Beef, onion, garlic, olive oil, carrot, celery, peppercorns, thyme, bay leaves, red wine, port wine, veal stock (veal bones, celery, onion, carrots, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves), salt.
