Every blog I've read goes on about the joys of Beef Cheeks.  They're apparently the holy grail of beef cooked Sous Vide.  The more work a muscle does the more flavour it has, but also the tougher it is. 
So after much difficulty I managed to get beef cheeks ordered in at the local butcher.  56 degrees for 30 hours, then brush with olive oil and a one minute sear on the hot bars.
On the plate and it certainly cut nicely.  Super tender.  I was able to actually cut it with the steak knife held upside down.  The blunt side slid through the meat like a knife through butter.  Well, no it was a bit harder than that but really, I cut it with the knife upside down. (just to see if I could)
Then, the taste test...
It was horrible.  Gristle and chewy.  Couldn't swallow the first mouthful. 
I spat that out and cut another bit from a different part.  I managed to eat it but it wasn't pleasant.  The gristle had broken down into gelatin.  It was like eating beef jelly.  There wasn't much flavour in it either.  I managed to get down that 125 gram portion.  I tried a bit off another and it was the same.  The rest went to the dog who seemed to have a very different opinion.  She thought it was delicious.
