Ingredients

2 lbs stewing beef or 2 lbs pork shoulder, cube 3/4" - 1"
oil (vegetable, peanut, Canola)
1 lb vegetables, cut up (carrots, lo bok, etc)
1 medium yellow onion, cut in large chunks - to taste (leek works well too)
1 -4 clove garlic, smashed
1 piece fresh ginger, peeled and smashed
2 star anise (opt for beef)

2/3 cup soy sauce (use a combination of light and dark in any proportion)
2 teaspoons dry sherry
2 cups boiling water

Steps:

*Staranise comes in the form of an eight point star.
,each point having an anise seed in it.
Most of them are broken up so use a total of eight points, more or less, to taste.
**Theorange (or tangerine) peel has a slightly bitter taste that I like better with beef but this is personal taste.
It comes in plastic bags and has a long shelf life.
Start by browning the meat in a few T of oil.
Do it in batches so it gets well caramelized.
When the last of the meat is well browned, remove it all to a bowl.
(Add more oil as needed).
Add the onion, garlic, ginger, anise, orange peel and chiles to the wok (or pot); keep cooking, stirring frequently, until the onion starts to brown.
Stir in the meat along with the sauce, bring it to a full boil, stir well and reduce heat to simmer.
Cover the pot and simmer for 1 hour (pork) or 2 hours (beef).
Adjust seasonings, add the vegetables and simmer, covered for another half hour.
Before serving, remove all the pieces of ginger, star anise, orange peel, chile, etc.
Serve with steamed rice or boiled noodles.

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, blade roast, and brisket are all good choices for beef stew meat. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in a liquid.
Brown the beef before stewing: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to develop a rich, brown sauce.
Use a good quality beef broth: The beef broth is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and vegetables.
Add vegetables to the stew: Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to the stew. Common vegetables used in beef stew include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
Season the stew to taste: Season the stew with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste. Common seasonings used in beef stew include garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves.
Cook the stew slowly: Beef stew is a slow-cooked dish. The meat and vegetables need time to become tender and the flavors to meld together. Cook the stew for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
Serve the stew with crusty bread or mashed potatoes: Beef stew is a hearty and filling dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. Serve it with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
