Method

• step 1

  Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Season the ox cheeks and put in the pan. Sear. When it is well browned all over, transfer to a saucepan.

• step 2

  Fry the onion, garlic, bay leaves and rosemary in the same frying pan. Fry until soft but not coloured. Add the tomato purée and chipotle paste and cook for a few minutes, then add the red wine and reduce by half. Add all of this to the ox cheeks and pour in the beef stock. Simmer on a low heat for 3½-4 hours until the cheeks give when pressed with the back of a spoon. Allow them to cool in the liquid.

• step 3

  To make the slaw mix all the ingredients together with some seasoning, cover and chill until ready to serve.

• step 4

  When the cheeks are cool enough to handle, take them out and gently flake the meat. Reduce the liquid down to a thick, gravy-like consistency, then add the meat back in and give it a stir.

• step 5

  To serve, heat the sloppy joe mix, add the chopped parsley and stir. Spoon the mix into the buns, and serve with a pile of the slaw. Eat straight away.
