🥩 Danish Beef Cheeks
Danish Beef Cheeks • Fresh Frozen • Ultra Tender Slow Cook Cut • Ready-to-Cook
Danish Beef Cheeks (Fresh Frozen) are one of the most “magical” cuts for slow cooking: a piece rich in natural collagen that, with the right cooking time and low temperature, transforms into buttery, juicy meat with an incredibly rich flavor.
Fresh frozen locks in freshness and quality immediately, ensuring consistent results and safe storage — ideal for stovetop cooking, oven cooking, wine-braised dishes, or ragù-style sauces that make an impression on the plate.

🔥 Cooking Method (ideal ways to cook cheeks)
Pot (low and slow)
1️⃣ Lightly sear (optional).
2️⃣ Add liquid (wine/stock/tomato) and aromatics.
3️⃣ Simmer covered for 2.5–3.5 hours, until fork-tender.
Oven / Dutch oven (best results)
1️⃣ Preheat to 150–160°C.
2️⃣ Cover in a Dutch oven/roasting pan with liquid.
3️⃣ Cook for 3–4 hours, until buttery-tender.
Pressure cooker
• 60–75 minutes (depending on size) + natural pressure release.
✅ Ready when easily cut and tender, without being “tight.”
💡 Chef's Tip
• The cheeks are elevated by wine, bay leaf, thyme, garlic and caramelized onion.
• Let them rest for 10–15 minutes in the sauce before serving — it thickens and becomes velvety.

• Mashed potatoes/celeriac
