Slow cooked beef brisket falls apart at the touch in this gourmet Chinese dinner idea.

1/2 cup (125ml) peanut oil
1.5kg beef brisket, cut into chunks
2 onions, cut into thick wedges
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
8cm piece ginger, half thinly sliced, half finely chopped
1/2 cup (125ml) chu hou sauce
3 cups (750ml) beef stock
3 star anise
2 tsp caster sugar
250g punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
2 tbs finely chopped ginger
1 bunch coriander, leaves picked
2 tbs lime juice
Sliced long red chillies, to serve

Method

1.

Heat 1/4 cup (60ml) oil in a flameproof casserole over medium-high heat.
2.

Cook the beef, in batches, until browned, then set aside. Add the onion, garlic and thinly sliced ginger to the casserole and fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly coloured. Add the chu hou sauce and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Return the beef to the casserole with the stock, star anise, sugar and enough water to cover. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 2 hours or until beef is tender.
3.

Combine tomato, chopped ginger, coriander and lime juice with remaining 1/4 cup (60ml) oil, then season.
4.

Garnish the beef with the chilli and serve with the tomato salad.
