Steps
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Season the pork cheeks with salt and black pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.

- Pour in the red wine and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Add the beef or chicken broth, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.
- Return the pork cheeks to the pot, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven.
- Braise the pork cheeks in the oven for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours, or until they are tender and easily pull apart with a fork.
- Remove the pot from the oven and let the pork cheeks rest for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the Burgundian braised pork cheeks with the cooking liquid and your choice of side dishes.
Tips
- For the best flavor, marinate the pork cheeks in the red wine overnight before cooking.
