  1. Set the oven to Gas Mark 2 or 150°C. Trim any fat (but not the white bits) from the ox cheeks or braising steak. Mix the flour and some seasoning on a plate. Use to coat the meat. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan over a high heat. Add the meat and brown it for a few mins on both sides. Put the meat in a casserole dish. Add the onion wedges, carrots and bacon to the pan with more oil and cook for about 5-8 mins until browning. Pour in the wine and then the stock. Add the bay leaf and sprigs of thyme. Put the lid on the casserole and cook for 4-5 hours, to make sure the meat is really tender. Check on it occasionally.
