- Preparation: 20 min
- Cooking: 150 min
- Makes: 1 serving (677 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Dairy-free, High protein
- Contains: beef, gluten, peanut, shellfish
Ingredients
- 170 g Beef short ribs, raw
- 40 g Peanut butter
- 60 g Eggplant, raw
- 40 g Yardlong beans, raw
- 50 g Bok choy, raw
- 8 g Rice flour
- 30 g Onions, raw
- 8 g Garlic, raw
- 10 g Oyster sauce
- 10 g Vegetable oil
- 250 g Water
- 1 g Sazón seasoning
Method
- Simmer the beef short ribs, standing in for oxtail, in the water for 2-2.5 hours, covered, until completely fork-tender, topping up water as it reduces; skim off any scum.
- Toast the rice flour in a dry pan over low heat, stirring, for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and pale golden; this stands in for the toasted ground rice traditionally used to thicken the stew.
- Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil until soft, then stir in the annatto seasoning and the peanut butter, thinning with a ladleful of the beef broth.
- Stir the peanut mixture and toasted rice flour into the pot of beef and broth, and simmer for 10 minutes until the sauce thickens and turns rich and glossy.
- Add the eggplant and yardlong beans and simmer for 8-10 minutes until just tender, then add the bok choy and cook for 2 more minutes until wilted.
- Stir in the oyster sauce (standing in for the fermented shrimp paste traditionally stirred through, or served alongside) and serve hot with rice.
