Recently I had the pleasure of working with Thermomix in Australia to release a new Skinnymixers Classics Mini Cookidoo Collection. As part of that collection I developed a new Chinese Five Spice Beef Cheeks recipe to showcase the very cool new TM6 slow cooking function. 
If you have a TM6, you can find the guided cooking Chinese Five Spice Beef Cheeks recipe on Cookidoo – it is incredible how melt in your mouth tender these are after only 4hrs, when traditionally you would need to cook Beef Cheeks all day.
I promised the Skinnymixers Community that I would share the slow cooker & pressure cooker version on the website – so everyone can enjoy these delicious Slow Cooked Chinese Five Spice Beef Cheeks.
If you are someone who hasn’t loved Beef Cheeks in the past, I urge you to give these a try. I definitely think they will change your mind on them! You can find Beef Cheeks in Coles and Woolworths, or ask at your local butcher.
