When it comes to braised beef, it’s best to take things low and slow. You can’t go past a beef cheek Bourguignon with pinot noir and mushrooms, or Agostino’s bresato al barolo (braised beef shin with Barolo). For a little bit of spice, it’s got to be O Tama Carey’s Sri Lankan black braised brisket.
