Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
5 pounds trimmed beef cheeks
-
1 large onion, diced small
-
1 carrot, diced small
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 cups beef stock
-
1 cup red wine
-
⅓ cup dried porcini mushrooms
-
2 cubes beef bouillon
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme
-
2 bay leaves
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C).
-
Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add beef in batches and cook until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Add onion and carrot; cook until tender, about 20 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
-
Pour beef stock and wine into the Dutch oven; bring to a boil. Stir in porcini mushrooms, bouillon cubes, thyme, and bay leaves. Lay a piece of parchment paper over the surface. Cover with a tight lid.
-
Bake in the preheated oven until beef is very tender, 5 to 6 hours.
-
Transfer beef to a plate. Discard bay leaves. Blend cooking liquid with an immersion blender to make a smooth sauce. Serve beef with sauce.
Recipe Tip
Use the leaves from three sprigs of fresh thyme for the dried thyme if preferred.
