Braised Beef and Radish
Braised Beef and Radish features chunks of beef chuck cooked with aromatic spices and seasonal winter radish (daikon) in a richly flavored oyster-soy sauce broth. The long pressure cooking tenderizes beef and infuses the dish with the warmth of ginger, garlic, star anise, and cloves balanced by the sweetness of brown sugar.
