Beef Cheek
Beef Cheek
All prices shown per pack, pack size variable
Taken literally from the cheek of the beef animal, this is a muscle that's done a lot – and we mean a lot – of work. Think of all the chewing a cow does! But don't be mistaken, this doesn't mean it's a tough cut, it means it's a full-flavoured and robust, falling apart into defined strands when cooked slowly and delicately. Exceptional and exquisite.
Our beef cheeks have been hand-prepared from top-quality grass-fed beef high in Omega 3 and natural vitamins. Grass-fed beef has a better ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6, is high in antioxidants such as vitamin E and contains higher vitamin and mineral levels. Eating meat from animals that themselves have only eaten a natural diet of grass, wildflowers, clovers and legumes, rich in essential vitamins and minerals and untainted by chemicals and pesticides, makes a whole lot of sense. It’s a healthy choice to make.
*Suitable for home freezing.

When cooking, give your ox cheek plenty of time to tenderise the meat and maximise the richness of their flavour. Let the meat be the star of the show by cooking it in a delicate broth, or add some spice by cooking it in beef stock, soy, ginger, garlic and chilli. Whatever flavours you choose, ox cheek will benefit from a slow cook of two hours at the very least, four hours if you can and six hours for really spectacular results. Just make sure the liquid stays topped up and keep the temperature low.
