Easy Asian Braised Beef

Deacon Moody

Report

Inspired by our Paraguayan "Asado a la Olla". This Spicy and Delicious Asian Braised Beef recipe is an Asian spin on traditional "Asado a la Olla" and is incredibly easy to prepare, and they're just as good! It's made with boneless chuck roast and braised in a rich, sweet, and savory Asian condiment and spice mixture.😋

Instructions

Wash the meat and cut it into 1-½ inches pieces. Set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, sear the meat on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per batch. Remove the beef to a plate and set it aside.
To the pot, add ginger, garlic, star anise, scallions whites, and cinnamon stick. Sauté for 2 minutes. Deglaze with the Shaoxing wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spatula.
Add all the remaining ingredients above and stir to mix well. Add the seared beef chunks and stir. Bring to medium heat until it breaks to a boil. Cover and cook the Asian braised beef for about 1-½ to 2 hours or until you notice that the meat is tender and falling apart. If you see that the liquid dries too much, add a little water.
Once the meat is tender, uncover the pot, and turn off the heat. Serve the Asian Braised Beef "Asado a la Olla" over white rice, or try our Delicious Lebanese Rice, garnished with the reserved scallion greens. Enjoy our Asian Braised Beef!!!

Transfer the beef to a saucepan and reheat over medium heat, occasionally stirring until heated. If the sauce has thickened too much after reheating, add a little water or beef broth to thin it out to your desired consistency. It's always a good idea to reheat the beef gently to prevent it from drying out or becoming tough.
