Beef cheek recipes
Also referred to as ox cheeks, beef cheeks are the cheek muscles of a cow. It's quite a tough cut of meat, but very well suited to slow cooking and with lots of flavour. It's one of the cheaper cuts of beef, but you might have to shop around to find them (though they are becoming more common).

This simple ravioli recipe uses tender braised beef cheek (or ox cheek) as a filling. You can increase the quantities of the beef and have it for a separate meal, or use it as a ragu for pappardelle. It makes a showstopper starter for six or meal for four.
