BEEF CHEEKS WITH MASH & GARLIC BEANS

If you have never bought or cooked beef cheeks, you are missing something. Extraordinary flavour and melt in the mouth tenderness. And they are cheap. Well, cheapish. They would be cheaper if top chefs had not discovered them. I reckon restaurants would account for the majority of beef cheek sales in Australia. Anyway, they are brilliant braised very, very slowly in a warm oven (about 140C). Maybe 4 to 5 hours with red wine and other goodies. A very light, fluffy mash made with King Edward potatoes. Proper home cooking.
