  3. In the same pan, fry the onions, garlic and ginger for 5 minutes.
  4. Return the beef, add the soy sauce, sugar, star anise and pepper, then stir to lightly caramelise.
  5. Pour in the water, cover and simmer over low heat for 1 hour, stirring from time to time.

Variations and tips

Kid-friendly version. Halve the soy sauce and replace the brown sugar with white sugar for a milder taste.

More tender. Extend the covered cooking by 30 minutes for even more tender meat.
