Ingredients
- 500 g beef brisket
- 2 potatoes
- 1 carrot
- 1 onion
- 1/2 block curry seasoning
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 slices ginger
- 1 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 4 bowls cooked white rice
Instructions
- 1Cut the beef brisket
Place the fresh beef brisket on a cutting board and carefully cut it into bite-sized chunks. Ensuring the pieces are uniform in size helps them cook evenly during the simmering process.
Tip: If the brisket is too slippery, you can freeze it for 15-20 minutes to firm it up before slicing. - 2Prep the potatoes
Peel the potatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. These will add heartiness and texture to the curry.
Tip: Keep the potato chunks a similar size to the beef so they cook in the same amount of time. - 3Slice the carrots
Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into chunks similar in size to the potatoes and beef. The carrots will add natural sweetness and color to the curry sauce.
Tip: Carrots take a bit longer to soften than potatoes, so ensure they are cut into manageable, even pieces. - 4Dice the onion
Dice the red onion into small, uniform pieces. These will be sautéed later to form the aromatic base of the curry.
Tip: Use a sharp knife to dice the onion efficiently without crushing the layers. - 5Blanch the beef
Place the beef brisket in a pot of cold water. Add sliced green onion, ginger, and a splash of Shaoxing rice wine. Bring to a boil, then skim off any foam that rises to the surface before removing the beef.
Tip: Starting in cold water is crucial for drawing out impurities effectively from the meat. - 6Simmer the brisket
Transfer the blanched beef to a fresh pot with warm water, green onion, and ginger. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for one hour until the meat is tender.
Tip: Low and slow heat is the secret to achieving succulent, tender brisket.
