thanks for the warning. Was about to go in there, but maybe someone can help me. was it The two guys left who were almost eliminated in Tasmania! I know who I want to win, but will find out Saturday as to who does and hope I'm right, as in the Masterchef thread there was a clue earlier on and got me second guessing myself along the way.

I think it was an intentional spoiler.Guess some people get a 'kick' out of ruining others enjoyment of something.Kind of a sad way to live if you think about it.

I'd still love Andy's beef cheek recipe from that night but they never published it. Maybe you can ferret it out Sam!

I'm not sure that I can find Andy's recipe bedazzledjewels, but I did find this one. "Slow-cooked braised beef cheeks Made up a recipe a couple of days ago for beef cheeks, it turned out supurbly awsome, definitely a keeper.
For those who've never had beef cheeks, the attraction is that they're an incredibly marbled, albeit a bit tough, muscle, so when you slow cook them the fat renders through the meat and they become glutenous and delicious. Really wonderful cut for that kind of thing.
When you get the cheeks you need to remove the tough membrane on one side, you do it pretty much the same way you skin a fish: insert a sharp knife between the meat and the membrane, then whack it on a cutting board membrane-down, and wiggle the knife back and forth in a zigzagging motion whilst pulling on the membrane, it cuts right off.
Anyways, onto the recipe:
1.5kg beef cheeks (about five cheeks) 2 cups of wine half a litre of veal or beef stock half a dozen carrots optionally a couple of turnips or a bunch of parsnips couple of onions about 8 sprigs of thyme, a bunch of parsley, I used flat-leaf parsley personally 8ish juniper berries cracked pepper
Marinate the beef cheeks overnight in the wine, a dash of good olive oil, two of the carrots finely sliced, the onions finely sliced, the juniper berries lightly bruised, and 10 or so peppercorns, the thyme sprigs and the parsley coarsely chopped
Drain the liquid into either a slow cooker or a crock-pot (I use a le creuset knockoff personally). If you're using the latter not a slow-cooker, preheat the oven to ~130C. Get rid of the vegetables, on a hot frying pan with a bit of oil sear each of the beef cheeks well on each side, then add to the wine.
Add the rest of the carrots, chopped, and the parsnips or turnips if you're using them, then cover with just enough of the stock to just cover the meat.
Cover, and whack in the oven (or turn on the slow-cooker if you're using one). Leave it for at least 4 hours, longer if you've got the time.
Pull it out of the oven, place the cheeks on a plate, and bring the liquid to the boil to reduce. Once it's reduced enough, thicken it with a little corn flour.
Serve the beef cheeks on top of polenta or mashed potato, drizzle the liquid over the top, and serve."
thank you so much, that has been driving me nuts. Oh, I hope they don't delete the whole thread, as it has been fun keeping up with the goss in there :)

alpha did the same thing in General a few weeks ago, and ruined it for a lot of us. Her posts were smug and shallow. She didn't give a damn what she did or the consequences. One very spiteful person. I'm pretty sure she also leaked MKR result as well.
Just copied and paste this to bump the thread above the spoiler one

and I am doing the same, for the same reason, with my response to maggie197's post "Agreed.she obviously meant to be a REAL spoiler - just her first sentence would have been enough of a spoiler, but the second sentence spelt it out so well that she may as well have spilt all the facts!":-))
