Instructions
- Prepare the Beef Cheek: Remove the membrane from the beef cheek and brown it in a saucepan with oil on all sides.
- Deglaze the Pan: Degrease the saucepan and wipe the bottom, then deglaze with a little red wine.
- Cook the Soffritto: In the same pan, add oil and sauté the celery, carrots, onion, and garlic until soft.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the beef cheek to the pan, add red wine, and let it boil to evaporate the alcohol.
- Add Herbs and Broth: Add rosemary, cloves, juniper berries, cinnamon stick, deglazed wine, broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Simmer the Beef: Lower the heat, cover, and cook for 3 hours.
- Prepare Celeriac Cream: Peel and cube celeriac, cook in boiling salted water for 15 minutes until tender, then blend with oil, salt, and pepper.
- Prepare Artichokes: Clean the artichokes, cut into wedges, and soak in water with lemon juice to prevent oxidation.
- Sauté Artichokes: Cook artichokes in a pan with oil, salt, and pepper until golden.
- Finish the Dish: Check the beef cheek for tenderness, return it to the sauce, and plate with celeriac cream and artichokes. Garnish with mint.
