How to Make Asado a la Olla Asiática
Note: The full instructions are provided in the recipe card below.
Wash the meat and cut it into 1-½ inches pieces. Set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. In 2 batches, sear the meat on all sides until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per batch.
Remove the beef to a plate and set it aside. Add ginger, garlic, star anise, scallion whites, and a cinnamon stick to the pot. Sauté for 2 minutes.
Deglaze with the Shaoxing wine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spatula. Add all the remaining ingredients above and stir to mix well. Add the seared beef chunks and stir. Bring to medium heat until it breaks to a boil.
Cover and cook the Asian braised beef for about 1-½ to 2 hours or until you notice the meat is tender and falling apart. If you see that the liquid dries too much, add a little water.
Uncover the pot once the meat is tender, and turn off the heat. Serve the Asian Braised Beef "Asado a la Olla" over white rice, or try our Delicious Lebanese Rice, garnished with the reserved scallion greens. Enjoy our Asian Braised Beef!!!😋
