Instructions

Season the beef cheeks and roast them over medium-high heat until well browned, about 10 minutes.

Add the shallots, leeks and carrots, cooking until softened, about 4 minutes.

Stir in the creme fraiche, thyme, dijon mustard and butter for 3 minutes.

Warm the baguette separately.

Let the beef simmer for about 15 minutes so it becomes tender.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the baguette, garnished with fresh herbs.
