Ingredients
- 900 g (2 pounds) beef shin cut into chunky cubes
- 240 ml (1 cup) hot beef broth or use a stock cube
- 80 ml (⅓ cup) dark soy sauce
- 120 ml (½ cup) Chinese cooking wine or use dry sherry
- 3 tbsp Sukrin Gold or dark brown sugar
- 2 onions sliced thinly
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tbsp ginger paste or fresh grated ginger
- 5 spring onions (scallions) finely sliced
- 3 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 tsp Chinese five spice
- ¼ tsp Szechuan peppercorns crushed (optional)
- 1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch) dissolved in a little cold water
To serve
- 1 red chilli finely sliced, to serve
- spring onions (scallions)
- fresh ginger cut into thin matchsticks
Instructions
- Optional: brown the beef first until nicely seared on all sides. Use a large skillet or your crockpot if it allows for searing.
- Add the beef in your slow cooker together with the garlic, onion, star anise and cinnamon stick.
- Combine the beef broth, soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, Sukrin and ginger in a measuring jug and stir. Pour over the beef, sprinkle with the five spice and add the spring onions and the pepper.
- Cook for 7 hours on low setting, or until the beef is very tender.
- If the sauce needs thickening, add the cornflour slurry to the slow cooker and switch to the high setting. Cook for 30 minutes or until the cooking juices are slightly thickened.
- Use two forks to shred the beef. Check the seasoning and serve over steamed rice or cauliflower rice with the sliced chilli, ginger and spring onions.
Notes
- Prepare a day ahead then put the beef (in the cooking juices but not shredded) in the fridge overnight. Any fat will solidify and you can discard it the next day.
