If you study my latest evaluate of Unreserved, the multi-faceted cafe at the JW Marriott Orlando Bonnet Creek, you know that chef Peter Kunstek is cooking up some good foodstuff there.
One particular of his much more well known dishes is the Beef Cheek Ragout with Gnocchi and he shares the recipe in this edition of Compliments of the Chef. Really, he shares three recipes: the braised beef cheeks, the potato gnocchi and putting it all with each other. The latter is demonstrated in the video clip below.
This is a good complete working day project, or you can make the beef cheeks ahead of time and use premade gnocchi (Kunstek states that’s great) and assemble the ragout in just a couple of minutes.
View the video clip then give the recipes a consider.
