About Beef cheek ragu

Beef Cheek Ragu is a rich, slow-cooked dish rooted in Italian cuisine, noted for its tender texture and deep, savory flavors. This hearty meal is made by braising beef cheeks in a tomato-based sauce infused with garlic, onions, carrots, celery, red wine, and aromatic herbs such as rosemary or thyme. The beef cheeks, when cooked low and slow, transform into melt-in-your-mouth morsels that pair perfectly with pasta or polenta. Nutritionally, beef cheeks are a source of high-quality protein and essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. The sauce incorporates vegetables, adding fiber and vitamins, but its richness in fat can make it calorie-dense, especially if served with starchy sides or enriched with olive oil and cheese. Moderation and balanced portions are key to enjoying this comfort food while maintaining a healthy diet.
