Slow Cooked Beef Cheeks This is a magnificent dish that takes a budget cut of beef and transforms it with little effort into a dish that you’ll find on the menu of fine dining restaurants. Little known fact: Beef cheeks are the KING of all slow cooking cuts of beef! Beef Cheeks are the cheek muscle of cows and they are a very tough cut of meat that needs to be cooked long and slow to make it tender. It absorbs the flavours of braising liquid well and when you cut into it, it is stringy, almost like pulled pork. And THAT is what makes them so special!
