Marinate beef in the afternoon, then relax until dinner.
Ingredients:
  • 750ml btl light red wine (such as pinot noir)
  • 1L (4 cups) beef stock
  • 185ml (3/4 cup) light soy sauce
  • 250ml (1 cup) dry sherry
  • 160g (1 cup, lightly packed) brown sugar
  • 50g fresh ginger, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled, thinly sliced
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 4 whole star anise
  • 15cm-strip orange rind
  • 1.5kg beef chuck steak, cut into 5cm pieces
  • 500g fettuccine
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander, sprigs picked
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan, bring together wine, stock, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, ginger, garlic, cinnamon, star anise, and orange rind. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 40 minutes until the liquid reduces by half.
  • Preheat the oven to 150°C. In a large frying pan, heat oil over high heat. Sear one-quarter of the beef for 5 minutes until browned, then transfer to a large ovenproof dish. Repeat with the remaining beef in 3 more batches. Pour the stock mixture over the beef, cover with non-stick baking paper, then cover the dish. Bake for 2 1/2-3 hours until the beef is tender. Let it cool and refrigerate overnight to enhance the flavors.
  • Remove fat from the braising liquid, move beef to a plate, then strain liquid into a saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes to slightly thicken. Shred beef, add to the pan, and heat through for 10 minutes on medium heat.
  • Cook the pasta until perfectly al dente, then drain.
  • Serve the pasta and beef in individual dishes, generously ladle the sauce over them, and sprinkle with fresh coriander for the finishing touch.
