Potato Braised Beef Brisket Recipe

Ingredients:

• Beef brisket

• Potatoes

• A pinch of salt

• 1 teaspoon of sugar

• 2 teaspoons of soybean sause

• 1 teaspoon of soy sauce

• A pinch of Szechuan pepper

• A pinch of star anise

• A pinch of bay leaves

• 2 slices of ginger

• 2 cloves of garlic

• A pinch of fennel seeds

Instructions:

1. Cut the beef brisket into small cubes.

2. Cut the potatoes into small cubes and set aside.

3. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the beef brisket and blanch it for a few minutes.

4. Once the water comes to a boil again, cook the beef brisket for 4-5 minutes. Skim off any impurities that float to the surface with a spoon. Remove the beef brisket from the pot and rinse it with warm water.

5. Add a little oil to the pot and stir-fry the sugar until it caramelizes and turns a deep brown color with small bubbles.

6. Add the beef brisket to the pot and stir-fry.

7. Add the spices and continue stir-frying until fragrant. Add a little soy sauce and continue stir-frying.

8. Pour in an appropriate amount of water, preferably hot water, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Transfer the beef brisket along with the broth to an electric pressure cooker. Cook on the "meat/stew" mode for 1 hour.

9. After the beef brisket is cooked, add a little oil to the pot and stir-fry the potatoes. Season with a small spoonful of salt and stir-fry until well coated.

10. Pour the cooked beef brisket into the pot with the potatoes. Cook over high heat to reduce the sauce. As the sauce reduces, the potatoes will be cooked.
