Stewed Beef Shank Recipe

It is not necessary that each food item has to be consumed hot. The beef shank is stewed and can be kept in eh fridge. This particular dish can be a perfect option for starters and also at times for a lunch or dinner meal.

Ingredients

• 500g beef shank

• 2 tbsp dark soy sauce

• 1 tbsp light soy sauce

• 1 tsp cooking wine

• 1 tsp ground white pepper

• 30g rock sugar or brown sugar

• 2 sprigs spring onion (cut into ~5 cm long)

• 6 slices ginger

Instructions

1. Rinse shank and vertically cut it into 2 portions of similar diameter (~6-8 cm), just to ensure that it will be stewed evenly.
2. Add spring onion and 3 slices of ginger into 3 cups of water and bring it to boil. Scald shank in it for ~2 minutes (scalding with the ginger and spring onion will help remove the raw smell of beef). Drain water and set shank aside.
3. Mix all remaining ingredients with 2 cups of water in a pot and bring all of them to boil. Then, transfer the scalded beef into pot, and cover. Stew it over low heat for ~1 hour or until there is only 1/3 to 1/2 cup of sauce left.
4. Dish up shank after cool and chill it with the sauce in fridge overnight.
5. Slice the chilled shank, pour sauce on top and drizzle some sesame oil to taste
