Deliciously aromatic Asian beef casserole with ginger, lemongrass, and star anise.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5kg beef casserole steak (such as chuck steak or gravy beef), cut into 4cm pieces
  • 1 brown onion, halved, thinly sliced
  • 3 carrots, peeled, cut into 2cm-thick slices
  • 4 whole star anise
  • 4cm-piece fresh ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 2 stems lemon grass, pale section only, halved
  • 500ml (2 cups) beef stock
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) brandy
  • 90g (1/3 cup) tomato paste
  • 300g green beans, topped
  • Fresh coriander leaves, to serve
  • Steamed white rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. 2. Spread the flour on a plate and season it with salt and pepper. 3. Add the beef and mix well to coat it evenly, shaking off any excess flour.
  • Heat oil in a large ovenproof casserole dish over medium heat. Brown the beef in two batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer browned beef to a plate as you go.
  • Cook the onion and carrot in the pan for 5 minutes until the onion is soft, then add the star anise, ginger, and lemongrass and stir to combine.
  • Place the beef in a dish, and pour in the stock, brandy, and tomato paste. Cover the dish and bake until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Boil the beans in a saucepan until vibrant green and tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes. Drain them before using.
  • Combine the beans with the beef mixture and stir well.
  • Garnish the beef with fresh coriander and enjoy with steamed rice.
