Chinese beef stew recipe

Step 1

Place the beef, ginger, and peppercorn in cold water, enough to cover the beef. Bring the water to a boil. Let it boil for about five minutes. Remove the beef, wash and cut into chunks.

Step 2

Heat some vegetable oil. Saute the ginger, garlic, and scallion until aromatic. Add the blanched beef.  Stir-fry for five minutes or until the beef turn slightly brown.

Step 3

Add the ingredients in the seasoning section.

Step 4

Add the dried orange peel, bay leaves, and star anise.

Step 5

Stew over low heat for two hours. Turn the beef occasionally to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Step 6

Add the cut radish. Continue cooking for 30-45 minute or until the radish becomes soft.

Step 7

Dish out and garnish with chopped scallion.
