Method

Beef Cheeks Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the beef cheeks

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

  2. 2

    Sauté vegetables

    In the same pot, add onions, carrots, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

  3. 3

    Deglaze and braise

    Pour in red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits. Return beef cheeks to the pot, add beef stock, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 3-4 hours until tender.

Potato Purée Preparation

  1. 4

    Cook the potatoes

    In a large pot of salted water, boil potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain well.

  2. 5

    Mash and mix

    Return potatoes to pot, add butter and milk. Mash until smooth and creamy, then season with salt to taste.

Beans and Lardons Preparation

  1. 6

    Cook the lardons

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add lardons and cook until crispy. Remove and set aside.

  2. 7

    Sauté the beans

    In the same skillet, add green beans and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt.

  3. 8

    Combine

    Toss the cooked lardons with the sautéed green beans before serving.
