This is a delicious braised beef cheek dish that requires some patience but rewards you with incredibly tender, fall-apart meat. You'll sear the cheeks, add vegetables and red wine, then let everything braise for about 3 hours while you relax. The final touches involve reducing the sauce and preparing simple sides like mashed potatoes and sautéed vegetables.
