Ingredients

  • 1 kg Beef Shank boneless
  • 6 star anise
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoon rice wine
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 3 cup water or cover at least half of the beef shin

Instructions

  • Braising the beef: Add all the ingredients to the pot over high heat and bring it to a boil. Turn the heat down, put a lid on and let it simmer for two hours. (Turn the beef every half an hour so all sides are cooked in the sauce).
  • Reducing the sauce: Take off the lid and turn the heat to the highest. Stir and cook until the sauce is reduced to about 1/2 cup.
  • Serving: Slice the beef and serve with the sauce.

Notes

  • Split the Beef Shin for Smaller Pots: If your pot is too small for the whole beef shin, simply cut it in half.
  • Prep for Serving: Before serving, be sure to remove and discard the ginger and star anises.
  • Versatile Filling: You can cut it into thin slices and use it as a sandwich or burger filling.
