Anchored by beef cheeks, onion and carrots, this steakhouse dish starts by patting the beef cheeks dry and comes together in about 50 minutes -- the kind of advanced recipe that earns a permanent spot in the rotation.

Worth the 50 minutes -- this is a weekend project that pays off.

A more involved technique that rewards patience with real depth of flavor.

Built around beef cheeks, so the flavor comes from real ingredients, not a spice packet.
