Joe?s Chinese Style Braised Beef

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 - 3 tbsp rapeseed or sunflower oil
  • 1kg Diced Stewing Beef
  • 2 onions
  • 60g ginger
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • Small bunch coriander
  • 2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
  • 5 whole star anise
  • 1 tsp black peppercorn
  • 100g sugar
  • 100 ml light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp tomato purée
  • 300 -500 ml Beef stock


METHOD:

  • Heat a little of the oil in a large flameproof dish. 
  • Add the beef in batches, and fry until browned. 
  • When each batch is browned, transfer the beef to another dish. 
  • Very roughly chop the onions, ginger, garlic and coriander stalks. 
  • Put in a food processor and whizz to a paste.
  • Wipe any oil out of the dish you browned the beef in. 
  • Add the paste with a good splash of water and gently fry, scraping up any beef bits; until the paste is fragrant and softened . 
  • Stir in the five-spice, star anise and peppercorns, cook for 1 min, then add the sugar, soy sauce and tomato purée. 
  • Return the beef and any juices to the dish, then stir in enough stock to just about cover. 
  • Bring to a gentle simmer. 
  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. 
  • Cover the dish, put in the oven and cook for 21⁄2 hrs. until the beef is really tender.
  • If your sauce is not thick enough and you want it thicker, lift the beef out of the sauce into a dish, to keep warm. 
  • Boil the sauce until reduced by about half and thickened.
  • Return the beef to the sauce. 
  • Serve the beef spooned over rice and enjoy!
