Directions
-
Marinate The Beef
Cut the beef cheeks into 3cm cubes.
Mix the olive oil, Sake, Mirin, soy sauce, ginger and onion together and toss with the beef.
Marinate overnight.
-
Sear & Braise
Heat a pot over medium heat, and when hot, sear the beef until brown on all sides.
- Remove the beef from the pot, and add in the beef stock, water, konbu and dashi – bring to a low simmer, then add the beef back in, braising until tender – about 1 hour.
If you can’t find beef cheek, other cuts that benefit from long slow cooking are chuck, brisket, shank and short ribs.
-
Cook The Vegetables
- Cut the vegetables into chunks about 4cm big and add to the braise. Cutting the vegetables into larger chunks will ensure that the veggies don’t disintegrate while the beef is slowly cooking.
- Cook for 20 minutes or until tender.
- Check that the beef is tender and continue cooking if it isn’t - patience will ensure that the dish turns out perfect.
-
Plate & Serve
- Ladle the braised beef and vegetables into a bowl and serve hot.
