Re: Camp Oven Beef Cheeks
Here is 1 to try From Derek's Camp Oven Cooking
Beef Cheek and Home Brew Pie
Ingredients 1 kg beef cheeks chopped into chunks salt and pepper olive oil 2 carrots 2 red onions 250 ml home brew 1 heaped tablespoon plain flour 1 tablespoon tomato sauce 250 g button mushrooms ...
For the pastry: 600 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting 150 g cold unsalted butter, cubed, plus extra for greasing 150 g Cheddar cheese
Method Roll beef with plain flour, and brown up the meat in pan with a little oil. Add home brew and the chop the carrots, onions, mushrooms and tomato sauce and salt and pepper.
... You might need to add some water at this stage to cover the ingredients. ...
Cook until the meat is tender ( 2 to 3 hours) thicken with plain flour mixed in a little water. To make the pastry. Combine the flour, cheese and a good pinch of salt in a bowl and mix. Rub the butter into the flour until it resembles fine breadcrumbs. Gradually add cold water, mixing continuously to combine to make the dough. Wrap the dough in gladwrap and place in the fridge for half a hour. Divide the pastry, then it roll out. Line the pie dishes, add filling then put the pastry on top. ... Bake until cooked

Re: Camp Oven Beef Cheeks
OK cooked the cheeks last night.
3 beef cheeks sliced and rolled in flour 1/2 cup of port 1/2 cup of beef stock (powdered) Teaspoon of your chosen herb (I used Oregano) Can of tomatoes 1 carrot Stick of Celery Cooked slowly in camp oven over choofer with heat beads for about 2 1/2 hours. Keep an eye on moisture--make sure it does not get dry while cooking. Top up with a 1/2 cup of water if the mixture looks dry. Mash spuds. Just fantastic. I was impressed.

Re: Camp Oven Beef Cheeks
We used to use beef cheeks as dog food because they were cheap. Last week they served them up to the PM.

Re: Camp Oven Beef Cheeks
As a young butcher in another life we used to get cryovac packs of beef cheeks. I think in 50lb packs.
They went into mince or sold for petfood. Who would have thought that I'd see the days when these are a delicacy. Then again we also ate tripe, brains, sweetbreads, hearts, liver, tongues etc.
The wheel is turning.
