Had the cheeks in the bottom of the freezer bought reduced in waitrose and added a kilo of stewing steak with double the ingredients. Unfortunately couldn't fit double the dumplings but they would have gone were I able to. All in all, amazingly simple and amazingly tasty!

I do exactly the same thing, Ive been caught out loads of times like that.<br /><br />Sasasunakku - Let me think about it and see if I can work an arse joke in somewhere.<br /><br />Laura - Thanks. I actually got the beef cheeks from Waitrose, I've had trouble sourcing them from my local butcher. But totally agree, when the weathers a bit colder something like this is ideal.<br /><br />Kavey - Hahaha I too have had mixed results with Gordon Ramsay recipes (Orange-Lemon tart anyone?) But this one worked beautifully, a real cracker. Be interested to hear how it turns out if you make it Kavey.<br /><br />George - Thanks and likewise, would love to know what you think if you make it.<br /><br />RoastPotato - The liquor was lovely - it didn't taste strongly of stout (which Im also not overly fond of) it was a just slightly sweet, and tasted very richly of the beef.

One Q: was the liquor excessively stout-tasting? I'm not fond of the flavour.
