Sweet soy beef cheeks with cucumber and herb salsa

Sweet soy beef cheeks with cucumber and herb salsa

I have been making this dish for years. The original recipe is from Bruno Loubet. In his recipe he adds mango to the salsa which is also lovely. I have found that this dish gets better with age and I quite often cook the braised beef the day before and make the salsa on the day. If you can't find ketjap manis, mix a little honey into light soy sauce.There's a lovely heat and richness to this dish. Don't be put off by the long list of ingredients, it really is worth it. As with other recipes I will give instructions for pressure cooking as well as in the oven.As well as the cucumber salsa, serve with some rice.
