Ox cheek ‘carbonnade’
Beer gives quite different character to beef than the red wine. Brown sugar masks the beer's slightly bitter quality, and a little vinegar gives balance.
For 4 people
INGREDIENTS:
4 Ox cheek pads, trimmed @ 200 – 250 grams each
40 ml Rice bran oil or vegetable oil
4 Red onions, peeled & sliced into crescents
Sea salt and black pepper
2 Cloves crushed garlic
375 ml Brown beef stock
375 ml Belgian beer
1 Tbl Brown sugar
1 Bay leaf
1/4 Bunch thyme
1 Tbl Sherry vinegar or wine vinegar
METHOD:
Dry the ox cheek on paper towels, then season well. Add the oil to a heavy pan and heat until almost smoking. Brown the ox cheek, a few at a time, and set them aside into a casserole.
Reduce the heat to moderate. Stir the onions into the oil, adding more oil if necessary and caramalise the onions lightly for about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Stir in the garlic & when cooked add the vinegar followed by the ale to deglaze, followed by the stock, thyme, bay & brown sugar.
Arrange the browned beef in the casserole. Spread the onions & beef stock over the ox. Braise slowly in a moderate to slow oven or follow the directions for a croc pot.
TO SERVE:
Mashed potato & a beer.
