Ingredients

2 pounds Beef chuck

2 tablespoons Oil

3 tablespoons Soy sauce

1 tablespoon Water

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Sherry

1 teaspoon Sugar

1. Leave beef whole. Crush garlic.

2. Heat oil in a heavy pan. Brown beef quickly on all sides.

3. Add garlic, soy sauce, water, salt, sherry, pepper and star anise, and heat. Simmer, covered, 1 hour. (Use an asbestos pad so meat won't burn.)

4. Turn meat. Add sugar and simmer slowly 1 hour more. Serve hot or cold.

NOTE: If the meat gets too dry during cooking, add 1 tablespoon water mixed with 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
