Braised Beef Cheeks... Tue, 04/7/09 1:28 AM (permalink)
Any of you know anything about braised beef cheeks? A chef I used to work with made this as a special one weekend and it was amazing. I just can't remember what he served them with. I think it was with mashed potatoes. I found a couple of recipes online but they all seem to just be slight variations of the same recipes. Any suggestions or recipes will be much appreciated!

    The mess hall the the AFB in Berlin  had a dish the cooks said was lipps(ith sounded like they said Lipash but none of them could explain what is was other the Rind Fliesch(beef).  They were sort of crescent shaped  and about 4" long.  They were braised until the melted in your mouth.  To this day i wonder if it was actually beef lips or cheeks.  it wasnt to bad but I only tried it one time.  It also had a different color, almost like a reddish chinese twice cooked pork.

      Yep, that sounds like what beef cheeks look like once they are cooked. Some type of tomato puree or paste is often used with wine to cook them. Thus, the red look. Interesting story.
