Organic Ox Cheek
A must-try cut for lovers of intensely flavoured, oh-so-tender grass-fed beef
You may not have tried organic ox cheek before – it's not a common feature on the butchers counter and, of course, you only get two per animal. We're confident, however, that once you've tasted it you'll swiftly be adding it to your list of favourites. Taken literally from the cheek of the beef animal, this is a muscle that's done a lot – and we mean a lot – of work. Think of all the chewing a cow does! But don't be mistaken, this doesn't mean it's a tough cut, it means it's a full-flavoured and robust, falling apart into defined strands when cooked slowly and delicately. Exceptional and exquisite.
At The Organic Butchery, we rear our animals to the highest welfare standards, reflected in the quality of our meat; our cattle are able to roam in large fields, grazing on fresh grass for as long as the weather annually permits - slowly maturing, as nature intended.
Minimum Shelf Life: 7 Days
Remember to try our organic pork cheek for equally amazing flavour.

Our cattle have a natural grass diet that means their digestive systems function exactly as nature intended. The dairy cows who mother all of our beef cattle spend around eight hours a day chewing the cud to extract all of the nutrients and fibre they need from the grass. Efficient digestion of a clean, organic diet means our cattle are healthy, with effective immune systems. So the meat they produce is healthy and nutritious. Because our organic beef cheeks are an entire cut, their size may vary from animal to animal and weights given are an average, for guidance.

When cooking, give your ox cheek plenty of time to tenderise the meat and maximise the richness of their flavour. Let the meat be the star of the show by cooking it in a delicate broth, or add some spice by cooking it in a liquor of beef stock, soy, ginger, garlic and chilli. Whatever flavours you choose, ox cheek will benefit from a slow cook of two hours at the very least, four hours if you can and six hours for really spectacular results. Just make sure the liquid stays topped up and keep the temperature low.
Please note, as this is a natural product the exact weight may vary depending on the size of the animal.
