Wagyu Beef Cheek Pie with Bone Marrow Gravy

Directions

1. Step 1, Cut the cheeks into bite-sized pieces. Heat some oil in a casserole and brown the cheeks in batches, then set aside.

2. Step 2, Add the diced onion and carrot and cook over medium heat until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a minute or so.

3. Step 3, Add the marrow, beer, stock, bay leaf and season with salt and pepper. Put the lid on and cook until the cheeks are tender - about 3 hours.

4. Step 4, Preheat the oven to 200C.

5. Step 5, Remove the cheeks and set aside, then reduce the sauce by half. Mix the cornflour with a little of the sauce and return to the pan. Stir until thickened. Add the beef cheeks back to the sauce.

6. Step 6, Place the pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll out a little more, if necessary. Use it to top the pie, brush with egg yolk and bake for 30-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
