Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle salt over the beef on both sides.

  2. In a pot, add a little bit of oil to coat the bottom and heat over medium high heat. Add beef and sear without stirring until well-browned. Do not crowd the pan; you will have to do this in batches. Flip and sear the other side.

  3. Once you're done, pour off excess oil but leave the browned bits in the pot; however, if you've burned these bits and they've turned black, scrub them off before proceeding. Browned bits give a nice flavour, but burned bits do not!

  4. Return all beef to the pot, cover with beef stock and add soy sauce, Golden Mountain sauce, oyster sauce, black soy sauce, and brown sugar. Stir to mix and bring to a simmer.

  5. While the beef is coming to a simmer, make your spice bag: In a muslin "soup bag" or on a square piece of cheesecloth, place all the dry spices and herbs inside and close the bag, or if using cheesecloth tie the corners together. 

  6. If you notice any foam on top of the stew at this point, skim it off before adding the spice bag. Add the spice bag and push it in until it is submerged.

  7. Add onion, garlic, shiitake mushrooms and daikon (if using), then cover the pot and simmer over low heat for 3 hours or until the meat is fork tender.

Chef's Notes



This cut of beef is officially called "super digital flexor muscle" which is part of the cow's hind legs. It has very distinct marbling of tendons all throughout the meat.
To make plain beef stock for this recipe, simply simmer 1½ lb of beef bones in about 8 cups of water for 3 hours, skimming off all the scum that floats to the top, adding more water as needed to keep the bones submerged. If you end up with less than 5 cups of stock, simply add more liquid to make up the shortfall. I highly recommend homemade beef stock so that you don't get extra flavourings and salt often added to commercial beef stock. But if you're gonna buy it, make sure it is UNSALTED!

I made the stew and was pretty good. However can we replace the beef with chicken?

Did you make this recipe?
