Method
Peel, half and slice the onions.

Drain and repeat step 2.
Place the drained onions into a jar and add the remaining ingredients ensuring the onions are completely covered.
Put the lid on and shake well.
Refrigerate overnight before using.
Heat a heavy pan or Dutch oven with half the oil, then sear the beef cheeks until golden brown.
Remove these from the pan and add the remaining oil along with the onion, garlic, herbs and spices. Stirring often - cook these until the onions are soft.
Add the beef cheeks back into the pan along with the remaining ingredients.
Cover and cook in a low oven (140°C) for approximately four hours.
If there is too much liquid, remove the meat and simmer the sauce on the stovetop until reduced, putting the shredded meat back in at the end.
Serve the shredded beef cheek on lightly toasted buns with slaw and pickled red onions.
Shred the cabbages and mix with the finely chopped spring onions, coriander and grated carrot.
Mix the aioli and chipotle sauce together then mix in with the slaw.
