Braised Beef Cheek Taco Kit Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Beef Cheeks

   In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef cheeks with salt and black pepper, then sear them in the pot until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

   In the same pot, add chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

   Add Broth and Spices

   Return the beef cheeks to the pot. Add beef broth, cumin, smoked paprika, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil.

   Braise the Beef

   Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender and easily shredded.

6. 6
