Ingredients

  • 1.8kg beef braising steak
  • 720ml soy, anise, and ginger braising liquid
  • 2 cups crispy root vegetables
  • 2 cups spaetzle noodles, for service

Method

  1. For the Beef:
    Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Sear beef in a hot braising pot. Remove and set aside. Deglaze the pot with red wine and return the beef to the pot. Cover three-quarters of the way with the braising liquid, then cover the pot and place it in the oven. Braise for 3-4 hours, or until fork-tender.

  2. For the Vegetables:
    Cut vegetables into matchsticks. In a sauté pan with oil, quickly cook the vegetables and set them aside for service.

  3. For the Noodles:
    Boil spaetzle noodles in water and strain.

  4. To Plate:
    Place a bed of noodles on the bottom of each plate. Top with some of the cooked vegetables and a generous portion of the beef.
