Braised Ox Cheeks With Port and Balsamic Vinegar image

I bought some ox cheeks on my last trip to the UK. I first tried these a couple of years ago and loved how tasty and succulent they were, so when I saw them on sale, I didn't hesitate. The cheeks I had were massive, so although I've marked this recipe as being for two people, it will depend on the size of your cheeks; I could have fed four with mine.

Time 2h45m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ox cheeks
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 carrots, cut into thick chips
1 leek, cut into thick strips
1 onion, sliced
100 ml port wine
600 ml beef stock
100 ml balsamic vinegar
3 sprigs fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 160°C.
  • Place an oven-proof pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. When hot, add the cheeks and cook until nicely coloured on all sides.
  • Remove the cheeks and set aside; without cleaning the pan, add the vegetables and cook for 6 minutes.
  • Add the port to the pan to deglaze it (scrape up any bits which are stuck to the sides because these will have great flavour).
  • Once the liquid has almost all evaporated, add the stock, vinegar and rosemary and return the cheeks to the pan.
  • Bring to the boil then cover and transfer to the oven.
  • Cook for 2 1/2 hours.
  • If the liquid appears runny, place the pan back on the hop, remove the lid and reduce the sauce until it is smooth.
  • Serve with plenty of mashed potatoes.
