Description
We are delighted to announce that we have partnered with the world’s best steak restaurant El Capricho for the limited supply of selected ox beef cuts now available at Basco.
This robust cut, hailing from the shoulder, is marbled with fat and connective tissues that break down during slow cooking, resulting in meat that’s both tender and deeply flavoured. Ox chuck can be prepared in various ways to suit different tastes and occasions. It comes as a whole piece that you can cut into chunks which are ideal for stews and casseroles, or even ground for burgers or meatballs, offering a range of culinary possibilities.
Ox beef chuck is a staple for many comfort food recipes. It’s the go-to cut for classic dishes such as pot roast, where it’s slowly cooked with vegetables and broth until tender. It’s also ideal for beef bourguignon, a rich French stew that highlights the meat’s flavour, and for pulled beef sandwiches, where the cooked meat is shredded and mixed with barbecue sauce.
HOW TO COOK OX BEEF CHUCK Steak?
To unlock the potential of ox beef chuck, slow cooking methods are preferred. Braising, slow roasting, and smoking are ideal techniques that allow the connective tissues to break down over several hours, resulting in meat that is both succulent and easy to shred or carve. Sous-vide cooking is another method that can yield exceptionally tender results by cooking at a precisely controlled temperature for an extended period.

The Source
El Capricho by José Gordón
The story of El Capricho restaurant in the tiny village of Jimenez de Jamuz in Leon is the stuff of gastronomic legend. For the last 25 years, its proprietor, José Gordón, has devoted himself almost religiously to the pursuit of the very finest meat to serve in his restaurant. Little could he have ever imagined that his lifetime’s work would wind up in El Capricho’s steak being judged as the world’s absolute best by a series of renowned international publications. It all starts with the animals. José travels far and wide to find the finest oxen available, choosing mature animals whose meat has been sculpted by a lifetime of work in the open fields. He brings each ox to his natural, organic farm in order to fatten them before slaughter, a process that typically takes 5 years, during which time the meat becomes marbled with the characteristic fat and subtle nuances which lend the final product an unmistakable taste. After slaughter, the meat is hung to cure at low temperatures for 90 days – intensifying the already spectacular flavours. The result is meat unlike any other. Time Magazine called it “the perfect steak”. American Vogue food writer Jeffrey Steingarten described it as “probably the greatest steak I’ve ever eaten”. The guardian featured El Capricho as the best place to eat steak in the world.
