Toss beef cheeks, moscato, garlic, and onion into a slow cooker. Turn it to low and let it cook for 8 hours.

Take the beef out and use two forks to pull it into small pieces.

Make gravy from the cooker juices—mix in gravy powder or stir corn flour with water, then add to the meat.

Bake the pastry empty in the oven first.
