Ox cheek is known for its rich, beefy flavour and tender texture.

One of the most popular ways to cook ox cheek is through braising. This method involves searing the meat on high heat to brown the surface, and then simmering it in liquid for several hours. The slow cooking process allows the meat to become extremely tender, and the cooking liquid can be used to make a rich sauce. Ox cheek can be braised in a variety of liquids including wine, stock, beer, or even coffee, which can impart different flavour profiles.

Another way to cook ox cheek is by slow-roasting it in the oven. This method involves rubbing the meat with a mixture of herbs and spices, and then cooking it at a low temperature for several hours. The slow roasting allows the meat to become extremely tender and the herbs and spices infuse the meat with flavour.

Ox cheek can also be used to make stews, soups, and pies. It is a flavourful and tender addition to any dish and can be used to add depth of flavour to stews and soups. Ox cheek is also a popular ingredient in pies, it is a traditional ingredient in beef and ale pies, or in traditional French dishes like the boeuf bourguignon.

When buying ox cheek, it is important to look for a good amount of marbling, or fat running through the meat. The fat helps to keep the meat moist and flavourful during the cooking process, and also adds richness to the final dish.

In addition to its delicious flavour, ox cheek is also a good source of protein and other essential nutrients. It is high in iron and zinc, making it a healthy choice for those looking to incorporate more red meat into their diet.
