Ingredients.
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 Angus Reserve beef cheeks (approximately 700g)
  • 1 tbsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds
  • 1 tbsp white peppercorns
  • 1 tbsp hot smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • Juice and zest of 1 orange
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 2-4 small, dried chillies
  • 1 tsp salt flakes
  • To Serve:
  • 8 Long Bread Rolls
  • 2 cups finely shredded red cabbage
  • 1 bunch of coriander, washed well
  • ½ cup chipotle mayonnaise (recipe on our website)
  • 2 medium cucumbers, halved length ways and then thinly sliced on the angle
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and cut into match sticks
  • 1 small white radish “Daikon” thick skin removed and cut into match sticks
  • 1 small jalapeno pepper, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 2 heaped tablespoons white sugar
Method.
  • Make the pickles ahead: Place the daikon, carrots, cucumbers, and jalapeños in a medium jar with the vinegar, sugar, water and a good pinch of salt. If the liquids don’t cover the veggies, add more water and vinegar if necessary. Let steep for at least an hour, or store in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Mix the oil, spices, dried oregano, orange zest and juice together. Rub into beef cheeks and allow a good 4-5 hours to marinate, preferably overnight.
  • Heat a medium sized pot over moderate heat with a little olive oil, brown cheeks on both sides, before adding in enough water to barely submerge the cheeks, (don’t add too much water, you don’t want to weaken flavour profile) bring to a boil, cover with a lid or parchment paper and set to cook either stove top or oven (set at 150C) for approximately 3 – 3.5 hours. Cook until meat starts to pull apart easily.
  • Reduce cooking liquor, on stove top with lid removed. Take a couple of forks to pull the meat apart. Season with a little more salt if necessary.
  • Serve Warm on Fresh Crisp Bread rolls topped with Pickles, shredded cabbage, chipotle mayonnaise and coriander.
