Red-Braised Beef

Recipe Ingredients

1 tablespoon	15ml	Vegetable oil
3 lbs	1362g / 48oz	Beef chuck - cut into 1 1/2
		Cubes
1 tablespoon	15ml	Minced fresh ginger
2		Scallions - minced
1/2 cup	118ml	Dry sherry
3 tablespoons	45ml	Dark soy sauce
1		Star anise
1 tablespoon	15ml	Sugar

Recipe Instructions

1. In a saucepan, heat oil over high heat until just smoking and brown beef cubes. Add minced ginger and scallions and stir fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds.

2. Add sherry, soy sauce, star anise, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat is tender when pricked with a fork, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

3. There should be about one-third of cooking juices left. If there is more, remove meat and boil liquid over high heat to reduce. Serve meat in juices.

This dish improves if prepared ahead of time and reheated. It also freezes beautifully.
