Fillet of Welsh beef, oxtail and potato lattice, Gorau Glas cheese fritter, shallot puree glazed vegetables

Recipe from Ye Olde Bull's Head, Anglesey, available at Welsh Rarebits here
Ingredients
6oz of fillet of Welsh beef

1/2 an oxtail

1 baking potato

50g Gorau Glas cheese

30g fresh breadcrumbs

10g flour

1 egg

100g puff pastry

1 glass white wine
Method
Fry off your oxtail very hard to get a dark brown colour all around add a few vegetables, carrot dice, sliced leeks, sliced onion, split garlic head. Fry together with the oxtail. Deglaze your pan with white wine. In a larger pot place all the ingredients that have just been cooked and just cover with water, simmer for at least 3 hours.

Once cooled take out the oxtail gently, strain the rest of the liquid, and reduce by half. Flake the oxtail off the bone avoiding any small bones or clumps of fat and place in the liquid, reduce until has a nice sheen and is quite sticky. Reserve for later.

Peel and wash your potato, slice to your required size, now seal in a hot pan with a little oil, garlic and rosemary. Fry off until nice and golden both sides, then place 100 g of butter in and half cover the potato with water. And place in an oven for 15 minutes.

Take the potato out of the oven. Spoon a good mound of the oxtail onto the potato to completely cover the top. Then place the pastry on top and bake again for 5 minutes, until golden brown. While this is cooking, crumble your Gorau Glas with the egg and flour and with the breadcrumbs, and deep fry.

Cook your fillet of beef to your liking and serve up immediately.

Welsh rarebit with pan-fried chicken livers in wholegrain mustard and cream
Ingredients - for the rarebit
225g grated, strong cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon butter

2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon of wholegrain mustard

2 teaspoons flour

4 tablespoons beer (welsh stout is recommended)

4 thick slices tiger bread
For the livers
250ml milk

300g chicken livers

1 shallot finely diced

1 garlic clove crushed

Teaspoon wholegrain mustard

25ml brandy

50ml cream
Method
For the rarebit: Put the cheese, butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, flour, salt and pepper into a saucepan. Mix well and then add the beer, do not make the mixture too wet.

Stir over a gentle heat until all is melted, and when it is a thickish paste, stop stirring and swivel it around the saucepan, which it will do quite easily. Leave to cool a little, and meanwhile toast the bread on one side only.

Spread the mixture across the un-toasted side of the bread and set to one side ready to put back under the grill when your livers are nearly ready.

For the livers: Soak the livers in the milk for an hour before using, ensuring there is no sinew or gall bladder on the livers - this should draw out all of the blood (rinse well before cooking).

In a hot pan chuck in the butter, shallot, garlic and livers and brown off. Once the livers are sealed, add brandy slowly. When the brandy is reduced by add the wholegrain mustard and then the cream. By now your rarebit should be under the grill and when browned simply pour over the livers straight out of the pan over the rarebit.

SIMPLE! Lovely on a winters afternoon, serve with a nice salad and some oven-baked vine tomatoes.
