Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 kilogram beef brisket
- 0.5 cup gluten-free soy sauce
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 4 cups water
- 2 pieces star anise
- 5 cloves garlic
- 1 large onion
- 2 tablespoons ginger
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onions
Instructions
Cut the beef brisket into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Peel and crush the garlic cloves, finely chop the onion, and slice the ginger into thin strips.
Heat a large pot over medium heat and add the beef cubes. Sear the beef on all sides until browned.
Remove the beef from the pot and set aside. In the same pot, add garlic, onion, and ginger and sauté until onion is translucent.
Return the beef to the pot. Add the gluten-free soy sauce, brown sugar, water, star anise, salt, and black pepper.
Stir well to combine all ingredients, then bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 2 hours or until the beef is tender.
Check the beef occasionally and stir to prevent sticking. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
In a small bowl, mix the gluten-free cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry.
Once beef is tender, add the cornstarch slurry to the pot and stir well to thicken the sauce. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Finely chop the green onions and top the beef pares with them before serving.
Serve the beef pares hot, ideally with gluten-free garlic rice or your preferred gluten-free side.
