Description

This hearty Red Cooked Beef dish offers a comforting blend of sweet and savory flavors, perfect for a cozy dinner. The beef chuck is slowly braised until fork-tender, absorbing the rich aromatics of ginger, garlic, and star anise. The resulting thick, glossy gravy is poured over warm, fresh egg noodles, creating a satisfying meal that balances tender meat with chewy pasta. Ideal for cold evenings or when you crave traditional Chinese home-style cooking, this recipe brings warmth and depth to your table without requiring complex techniques.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the beef chuck roast into 2-inch cubes. Pat dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
  2. Heat cooking oil and peanut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
  4. In the same pot, saut&# 195;© minced garlic, minced fresh ginger, and coarsely chopped scallions until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Return the beef to the pot. Add soy sauce, rock sugar (or brown sugar), and star anise if available. Stir to coat the beef evenly.
  6. Add enough hot water to cover the beef by about an inch. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  7. Cover and simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  8. Meanwhile, cook fresh egg noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
  9. Place a portion of noodles in each bowl. Top with braised beef and ladle a generous amount of the rich gravy over the top.
  10. Garnish with chopped Napa cabbage leaves or fresh scallions if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
