Recently, however, this mouth-watering cut has seen a revival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso known as ‘beef cheek’, it needs to be slow cooked in order to be at its best. It’s perfect for adding to a stew in the slow cooker, forgetting about while you enjoy your day and returning to a rich and hearty meal. Our ox cheek is delivered in medallions; you can slice\/dice it for your stew or simply add to the slow cooker straight out of the wrappings. However you enjoy it, we promise you will!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s a great way to feed a hearty and warming meal to the family on a budget. The price is cheaper for this cut of beef than many other options — mainly due to the fact it has to be slow cooked. However, it’s still highly versatile as it works in a range of different stews, tagines and casseroles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"45.12px\" class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\"\u003eWhat is Ox Cheek?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOx cheek, also referred to as beef cheek, is a cut of beef that comes from the cheek muscles of a cow. It has as much rich and delicious taste as ox tail so is a great option for stews and casseroles. Its full taste is usually because it’s an extremely strong and well-worked muscle over the cow’s lifetime. This makes ox cheek from grass-fed cattle (like those we use at Eat Great Meat) an even better choice!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"45.12px\" class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\"\u003eHow to Cook Ox Cheek:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it’s vital to store this meat in the fridge, ensure you remove it a couple of hours before cooking so it can reach room temperature. This allows the meat to relax and creates a much better texture and taste. Remove the ox cheek from the packaging and pat dry to remove any excess moisture. Fry off the meat in a large frying pan to seal in the flavour and moisture. Depending on your recipe, you can then add it to a slow cooker or large casserole dish in the oven with onions, garlic, stock and vegetables. We love to add some red wine too to give the flavour a rich depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-fontsize=\"15\" data-lineheight=\"25.95px\" class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\"\u003eOx Cheek\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur ox cheek is truly delicious and makes some of the best casseroles and stews.
