      • A generous, flavoursome muscle, our incredible 100% grass fed ox cheeks are the perfect cut for slow cooking.

        Despite having always been a favoured cut amongst chefs, ox cheeks have only recently experienced a revival in popularity for home cooking. Becoming wonderfully tender when slowly cooked, packed with natural collagent and boasting an incredibly rich depth of flavour, it makes the perfect component for unctuous stews, ragus and nutritious, thick broths. 

        We also love incorporating ox cheek into a hearty pie, with plenty of root veg, a rich gravy sauce and a dash of stout for extra flavour. 

        Whilst requiring a little patience to get the very most out of ox cheek, it's a classic cut that that will reward you with utterly delicious flavour.

        Due to rearing in harmony with nature, the size of each ox cheek will vary slightly. Approx. 300g each

      • 100% Grass Fed Beef

      • Preheat your oven to 180C. 

        Thaw completely and remove the cheeks from their packaging, patting them dry with a cloth or some kitchen towel.

        Season a handful of plain flour with sea salt and black pepper, then toss the cheeks in the flour to coat thoroughly and evenly. 

        Place in a large, heavy bottomed casserole dish with a little olive oil and butter or ghee, and cook until browned. 

        Once browned, remove the cheeks from the pan and add some roughly chopped veg (carrots, onion, celery, garlic) and cook until nicely softened and translucent. 

        Return the ox cheeks to the pan, along with some bay leaves, red wine, beef stock and a glug of stout or red wine. Bring everything to a simmer and then transfer to a preheated oven. Cook for 4-5 hours, until the meat is beautifully tender and the sauce is rich, thick and flavoursome.
