Recipe

Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
Spring onions, sliced
Thumb-sized piece fresh ginger
1 red chilli, deseeded & thinly sliced (leave seeds in for extra heat)
1 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
2 star anise
2 tsp Murray River Pink Salt Flakes
1½ kilo Cape Grim Beef Cheeks (4 large ones)
2 tsp brown sugar
3 tsp Chinese cooking wine
2 tsp dark soy
1L beef stock
2 packs Tilda Coconut, Chilli & Lemongrass Basmati Rice
To Serve:
Sesame seeds
Coriander (optional)
Spring onions, cut diagonally
2 steamed buk choy, quartered lengthways

Method

Heat oven to 160°C. In a cast-iron casserole (with a lid), heat the oil and sauté the garlic, spring onions, ginger and chilli for a few mins.
Add spices and sauté until fragrant, about 1 min.
Add the Murray River Salt Flakes and the Cape Grim Beef Cheeks.
Add the brown sugar, Chinese cooking wine, dark soy and beef stock and bring to a simmer.
Cover and place in oven and cook for about 4 hrs. Check occasionally, and if the liquid is evaporating too fast, add water as needed.
At serving time, remove the beef cheeks from the oven and place on the table.
Cook Tilda Rice in the microwave and place on the table.
Serve straight from the casserole dish, over the rice and garnish with steamed buk choy, sesame seeds and additional sliced spring onion.
Tip: You could also use a slow cooker, or pressure cooker for the beef.
