- 1.5 lb beef banana shank grassfed
- 1 ½ c soy sauce
- ½ c Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
- 3 Tb cane sugar
- 3 c water
- 1 ea cinnamon sticks
- 3 ea star anise
Instructions
- Put all items into a pot. Bring to a simmer and cook at a very lazy bubble for 1.5-2 hours. The meat will be thoroughly cooked and tender but not falling apart when you pick it up.
- Remove from liquid, slice, and serve. Alternately, it can be cooled completely, sliced and eaten cold or at room temperature.
- The cooking liquid can be cooled, refrigerated, and used again if desired.
Notes
- Make this the day before and serve cold or at room temperature.
- Cook chicken in the same stock first to get 2 meals out of 1 pot
- Do not overcook to fork tender. It should still hold together if you try to pick it up with a fork.
