Detail :
Beef Cheek is excellent for making pulled beef dishes. In a cast iron pot, long and slow over a fire pit is always going to be the best, but that’s not going to be possible for most of us. In one of our Dutch Ovens is going to be a close second, but this recipe is designed to use a slow cooker/ rice cooker, something even the smallest Bangkok condo kitchen will have in.
This recipe is so simple it takes just 5 minutes in the morning, then just leave it to cook throughout the day and come home to a house smelling amazing and a quick easy dinner.
Ingredients
1kg Sloane’s Beef Cheek
Splash of olive oil
1x 500ml Sloane’s Beef Stock
1 tin Chipotle in Adobo (pureed) or 50ml Chipotle Thaibasco
6 garlic cloves, minced
5 tsp ground cumin
3 tsp dried oregano
3 bay leaves
Juice of 2 small limes to finish.
Methods
- Season the beef cheeks with salt and pepper, then heat the oil in a thick based pan.
- Once smoking hot, add the cheeks and sear until browned on all sides.
- Transfer to a slow cooker. *If using a Dutch Oven, just sear directly in the pot.
- Add the garlic herbs, spices and chipotle sauce and stir well coating the beef.
- Add the beef stock, cover with the lid and cook on low heat 7-8 hours. *if in the Dutch Oven, add it to a preheated oven at 120-130°C.
- After this time the beef should come apart easily. Remove beef from the slow cooker and shred.
- Stir lime juice into the remaining broth in the slow cooker then add a few spoonfuls to the pulled beef, to keep it moist.
- Serve in tortillas with diced tomato, coriander leaf and red onion or selection of your favourite taco toppings.
