RED WINE

RED WINE BRAISED BEEF WITH PEAS AND GIROLLES MUSHROOMS

2 small ox cheeks
100g of plain flour
3tbl pommace or vegtable oil
2 banana shallots cut in half
2 large carrots left whole
4 cloves garlic
500ml red wine
800ml chicken or beef stock (no salt)
2 sprigs of thyme
1 large bay leaf
Salt
Fresh black pepper
100g butter
1 clove garlic cut in half
120g peas 
1 punnet pea shoots 
100g fresh girolle mushrooms 

Method   

Cut the beef cheeks in half.
Heat up a frying pan. 
Sprinkle salt and pepper, roll in the flour and fry in 3 table spoons of vegetable oil until all sides are golden brown this should take 5 mins. 
Place in a casserole dish add your wine and stock. 
Bring up to the boil and skim the foam off the top.
Add vegetables and thyme and turn down to a simmer cook for 3-4 hours. 
Once the meat is tender it should feel soft and glisten. It will be tender enough that you can easily put a fork through it. 
Take the beef out of the liquid.
Wrap tightly into a sausage shape with cling film and place in the fridge. 
Remove the vegetables from your cooking liqueur and pass the liquid through a sieve. 
Put the liquid back into the casserole dish and boil until you have sauce bursting with flavour and it will start to thicken. You may need to add a tsp of flour if the flavour is very strong but the sauce is too thin. 
When you are ready to serve cut your pieces of cooked beef cheek into half again and place in an oven proof dish with 4tb of your sauce ontop. 
Cover with tin foil and place in the oven for 20 mins 180c 
In a small pan melt butter add a clove of garlic cut in half.

Add your washed mushrooms and a sprinkle of salt. Gently cook for 3 mins, add peas and cook a further 2 mins

Rub the outside of the tuna with oil and sprinkle with salt and roll slowly in a hot dry panpan. 
Brush the tuna all over with a pastry brush dipped in Dijon mustard and roll in the gremolata.

Wrap in cling film. 

Pickled Golden Beet

1 medium golden beetroot sliced very thinly or grate
200g vinegar
200g water
100g sugar
Pinch of sugar
1 tablespoon turmeric

Bring to the boil and pour over thinly sliced golden beetroots.

Anchovy dressing

100g of your favourite mayonnaise
2 brown anchovies
2 silver anchovies
¼ clove of garlic
½ tsp white wine vinegar
1tb milk

Blend up together until smooth.

Method

Strain off the pickling liquor (keep it as it’s a great addition to liven up a vinaigrette). Pinch 6/7 slices of beetroots together and put in the middle of the plate.

Take a spoon of dressing and place beside the beetroot, hold the round side of your spoon on top and pull in a semi-circle motion.

Slice the tuna into 1cm thick slices ¾ per person.

Place the tuna fanned beside the dressing.

This is a cold starter. You can prepare everything a day or two beforehand but use only the freshest tuna.
