INGREDIENTS
DIRECTIONS
1
Begin by peeling the potatoes, leave half of them whole in water, slice the rest about 3 cm thick and leave in cold water
2
Preheat oven to 150C.
3
Place a large heavy based saucepan on a high heat.
4
Cook the beef cheeks on all sides, getting as much colour as possible.
5
Remove the cheeks from the pot and add your vegetables, caramelise all over.
6
Add your tomato paste, butter, dried thyme and flour and cook for a further minute.
7
Add the red wine and cook for 1minute, then go in with the water, stockpots, Worcester sauce, soy sauce, and season with salt and black pepper.
8
Return the beef cheeks, and juices to the pot, then bring to the boil, cover and place in the oven.
9
Cook in the oven for approx 2 hours, or until the cheeks are soft to touch.
10
Remove the pot and turn the oven up to 200c.
11
Using a fork, shred the beef cheeks into the sauce, it should soak up lots of sauce and create a thickened mix.

In a separate pot, line the base with the sliced potatoes, pour the braised beef cheek mix on top to fill the pot.
13
Using a knife, cut the potatoes approx 1cm thick. Begin to layer the potatoes in a fan shape across the top of the cheek mix.
