Beef cheeks are one of the most tender, succulent cuts of meat you can cook, and when prepared properly they offer the perfect melt-in-your-mouth experience. One of the best ways to prepare beef cheeks is with a delicious green sauce, which adds a tangy, aromatic flavor that complements the meat perfectly. Here’s a recipe to get you started!

Ingredients:

– 2.5 lbs of beef cheeks.

– 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.

– One onion, chopped.

– Three garlic cloves, peeled and minced.

– Three carrots, peeled and chopped.

– Three celery ribs, chopped.

– One tomato, chopped.

– One tablespoon of tomato paste.

– Two bay leaves.

– One cup of wine.

– Beef stock.

– One bunch of parsley, chopped.

– One bunch of cilantro, chopped.

– Four green onions, chopped.

– Four jalapeño peppers, chopped.

– Juice of one lemon.

– Salt and black pepper.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F.

2. Trim the fat off the beef cheeks and then season them with salt and pepper.

3. Heat the vegetable oil in a large oven-proof pot over medium-high heat. Once the oil is heated, add the beef cheeks and sear them until they are brown on all sides. Remove the cheeks from the pot and set aside.

4. In the same pot, add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté for five minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

5. Add the tomato to the pot and cook for another five minutes.

6. Add the tomato paste, bay leaves, wine, and enough beef stock to cover the beef cheeks. Bring the mixture to a boil.

7. Once the mixture is boiling, return the beef cheeks to the pot. Cover the pot and place it in the preheated oven. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours or until the beef cheeks are tender.

8. While the beef cheeks are cooking, prepare the green sauce. In a food processor, combine the parsley, cilantro, green onions, jalapeños, lemon juice, and salt. Process the mixture until it becomes a smooth sauce.

9. Once the beef cheeks are cooked to perfection, remove them from the pot and strain the sauce. Discard the vegetables and bay leaves.

10. Add the green sauce to the strained sauce and stir over low heat until heated through.

11. Serve the beef cheeks with the green sauce and enjoy!

The combination of tender beef cheeks and tangy green sauce is sure to be a hit at your dinner table. Not only is this dish a hearty and flavorful meal, but it is also a relatively easy recipe to prepare. Give it a try – you won’t be disappointed!
