Time 2h30m

Yield 10 to 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3-4 pounds bottom-round beef roast or other lean meat
1 tablespoon corn or peanut oil
3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 tablespoons plus 1 cup water
2 tablespoons dry sherry
2 star anise
1 teaspoon five-spice powder

Steps:

  • Trim as much fat as possible from the beef.
  • If using a nonstick pan, no oil is necessary. Otherwise, heat oil in skillet. Add beef to hot pan and brown on all sides.
  • Reduce heat to low and add soy sauce, 3 tablespoons water, sherry, star anise and five-spice powder. Cover and gently simmer meat until it is tender, about two hours, cooking for one hour on one side, and turning to cook after the first hour on the second side. Depending on the amount of fat, it will take 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours to cook.
  • When meat is tender, remove from pan and cool. Add the remaining 1 cup water to the pan, and heat the juices to serve over meat.
  • Serve meat at room temperature or chilled.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my beef turned out tough. I think I might have overcooked it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover beef. I had some leftover steak, and I used it to make this dish. It turned out great!

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a big fan of anise, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The anise flavor was subtle and not overpowering. The beef was also very tender and flavorful.
