Instructions:

Sear the ox cheek on all sides in hot sunflower oil or other vegetable oil. Remove the meat from the frying pan and season with pepper & salt.

Sauté the washed, peeled and chopped vegetables also at a low temperature. As soon as the vegetables have taken on color, pour in the paradeis pulp, add the browned ox cheeks repeatedly, sauté and extinguish with red wine, Madeira and sherry. Reduce and fill up with beef stock.

Put the cheek of ox in an ovenproof dish, add the spices and herbs and fill up with the resulting stock. Cook in the oven heated to 90 degrees (convection oven) for four to six hours. Before removing the cheek of ox from the mold, make a cooking test. Mix the stock lightly so that the sauce is nice and creamy. Pass through a sieve, perhaps cook a little more and season.

This dish goes exceptionally well with braised pearl onions, roasted fresh dates and celery puree – garnished with a tiny bit of fresh marjoram and fine chive tips.

Our tip: It is best to use fresh herbs for an especially good aroma!
