Braised beef cheek


If  you have to economise at the end of the month this is not hardship, your butcher will ask about 9 euro per kilo and it is delicious.

Cover a 400 grs beef or veal cheek lightly with oil, some salt and pepper and grill them till nicely browned.

Melt 30 gr butter and sweat a diced shallot and 4 mushrooms. Add 3/4 liter of beet juice, 1/4 liter of beefstock, 150 ml red wine and some thyme. Then slowly braise the cheek in it for 4 and possibly 5 hours.

Take out the meat and keep warm and discard the rest and reduce the liquid till you have a nice thick sauce.

Fry some shiitake and other mushrooms in some butter.

Serve with nice salad leaves

  1. There is no one-size-fits-all diet for diabetics. In general, the foods that spike blood sugar the most are carbohydrate. That means bread, grains, oatmeal, rice, potatoes, noodles, pasta, corn.
