Grass Fed Beef Ox Cheek
Ox cheek is a hard working muscle from a life of chewing the cud. With defined, strong muscle fibres, ox cheek requires plenty of gentle cooking to tease apart the fibres.
Intensely flavoured with rich beefiness this is one of the best slow cooking cuts there is.
When cooked for hours the cheek breaks down into wonderful melting meat that pulls apart.
It’s also very scarce as each of our grass fed native breed cattle only has two!
Full of collagen this is a cut that is packed with beneficial nutrients.

Defrosting
Best: leave it in its vacuum pack on a plate on the bottom shelf of the fridge. Steaks and small packs take about 12 hours; joints can take 24 hours or more.
Quicker: keep it in the vacuum pack and submerge it in cold tap water, changing the water every 30 minutes. Cook it straight away once defrosted.
Never defrost meat at room temperature.

Cooking
Take steaks and joints out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking and pat them dry. Steaks and whole joints can be served pink in the middle. Rest steaks for a few minutes and joints for 15–20 minutes before carving.
Mince, diced meat and burgers must be cooked until steaming hot all the way through, with no pink meat left.
