Description

Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef brisket, washed, pat dry and cut into 1 ½ inch pieces
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 5 slices ginger
• 1 cup shaoxing wine
• 2½ tablespoons light soy sauce
• 3 star anise
• 8 cloves
• 1 teaspoon of sugar
• 5 cups of water
• 1 large turnip, cut into 1 ½ inch pieces

Directions

• Prep your beef. Heat cooking oil and ginger in a wok or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the beef and lightly brown all sides. Then add the shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, anise, cloves, sugar and 3 cups of the water (reserve last 2 cups for later). Simmer over very low heat for about 75 – 90 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking or burning.
• After that, the sauce should be almost dry. This is a good time to skim out any excess fat. Then add the turnips and the last 2 cups of water. Allow the stew to simmer for another 30 – 40 minutes, until the turnip is soft and tender. Serve hot over rice.
