Tender Chinese beef brisket melts in your mouth after slow cooking.
Ingredients:
  • 125ml peanut oil
  • 1.5kg beef brisket, cut into chunks
  • 2 onions, cut into thick wedges
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 8cm piece ginger, half thinly sliced, half finely chopped
  • 125ml chu hou sauce
  • 750ml beef stock
  • 3 star anise
  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
  • 250g punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped ginger
  • 1 bunch coriander, leaves picked
  • 42.00 gm lime juice
  • Sliced long red chillies, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a flameproof casserole, warm up 1/4 cup (60ml) of oil over medium-high heat.
  • Brown the beef in batches then set aside. Saute the onion, garlic, and thinly sliced ginger for 2-3 minutes until lightly colored. Stir in the chu hou sauce and cook for 1 minute. Add the beef back to the pot along with stock, star anise, sugar, and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered on low heat for 2 hours until beef is tender.
  • Mix together ripe tomato, freshly chopped ginger, fragrant coriander, and zesty lime juice with the remaining 1/4 cup (60ml) of oil, then season to taste.
  • Top the beef with the spicy chili and present it alongside the refreshing tomato salad.
