Crispy Roseda Farms Beef Cheeks Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Searing the Beef Cheeks

   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the beef cheeks with salt and black pepper on both sides.

2. 2

   Once the oil is hot, add the beef cheeks to the skillet. Sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until they develop a deep golden-brown crust. Remove the beef cheeks from the skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Sautéing the Vegetables

   In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. 5

   Deglazing the Pan

   Pour in the red wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Allow the wine to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

6. 6

   Cooking the Beef Cheeks

   Return the seared beef cheeks to the skillet. Add the beef broth, bay leaves, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

7. 7

   Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 2-3 hours, or until the beef cheeks are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.

8. 8

   Final Touches

   Once cooked, remove the beef cheeks from the skillet and let them rest for a few minutes. Taste the sauce, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

9. 9

   Serving

   Slice or shred the beef cheeks and serve them warm with the sauce poured over the top.
