Step 2: Brown the beef
Braising cut
- chuck roast, cubed900 g2 lbs
- beef cheeks, cubed900 g2 lbs
- salt~15 g
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cubed, prepped meat (if using beef cheeks or tough cuts, remove excess fat or large connective tissue chunks). Sprinkle with salt to season evenly.
the meat cubes until you get some browning (if you want deeper browning, you can do this in small batches to better sear each piece. Takes longer, but builds deeper flavor).
