Winter = soups & stews

Love it. Red Beans and rice with pickled pork and smoked sausage. The bomb.

Six hour slow smoked beer braised beef cheeks. So tender

Beef and pork cheeks - easily one of the best cuts of the animal.

Nothing too fancy as needed to pass approval from the kids. Floured the cheeks in flour with salt and pepper. Browned them and set aside. Fried some diced onions and garlic. Deglazed the pan with some malty beer. Added back the cheeks and topped up with stock. Into the smoker at about 110C for as long as you like, this time with some cherrywood and some wine barrel chunks. Normally would have added some veg but the pan was too full. Normally would also add some tomato paste towards the end to make the gravy richer. Beef cheeks were reduced at 50% off so did up a big batch - dinner, lunch tomorrow and some for the freezer.
