This is a take on the classic dish of beef braised in Burgundy with mushrooms and bacon lardons. The gelatinous quality of beef cheeks gives a new dimension to the dish, but by all means use a more traditional braising cut such as chuck steak if you prefer. Serve it with potatoes or the traditional buttered noodles.
Ingredients
Method
Main
1.Preheat oven to 150C. Heat oil in a large frying pan over high heat. Season beef cheeks, dust with flour and brown all over (7-8 minutes). Add garlic and shallots, and sauté until shallots just start to colour (3-4 minutes), then deglaze pan with wine. Transfer to a flameproof casserole dish, add stock, bacon and herbs, cover with a lid and braise in oven until beef is very tender (3-3 ½ hours).
2.Place casserole over medium heat, add mushrooms and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender (8-10 minutes). Stir in parsley, scatter extra on top and serve.
