This Chinese Hot Pot of Beef and Vegetables is a nourishing, delicious Chinese stew that will brighten up the darkest days of winter. It is full of delicious spices like ginger, cinnamon, and chili to heat you up inside. If you don’t want to use sherry in this recipe, simply replace it with additional beef broth or water.
To make this stew, start by browning beef on all sides. Remove from the pan and add onions, ginger, aniseed, and garlic. Add the broth, beef, water, soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, chili paste with garlic, and cinnamon sticks. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 1 hour. Add vegetables and continue to simmer until tender. Combine water and cornstarch and add to the stew to thicken. Before serving, add spinach and remove cinnamon sticks.
To make Chinese Hot Pot of Beef and Vegetables, you will need the following ingredients:
Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil to a Dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat. Once heated, add half of the beef and brown on all sides. Remove the beef from the pan and brown the other half of the beef with the remaining oil.
Add ½ cup of green onions, ginger, aniseed, and garlic to the pot and sauté for 30 seconds.
Stir in 1 can of broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen browned bits. Return the beef to the pan.
Add 2¾ cups of water, ¼ cup of low-sodium soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 3 tablespoons of dry sherry, 2-3 teaspoons of chili paste with garlic, and 2 cinnamon sticks. Bring the stew to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
Add the turnips and carrots and continue to simmer for 45 minutes or until tender.
Combine 1 tablespoon of water with 2 teaspoons of cornstarch. Add the mixture to stew. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently.
Add 8 cups of spinach. Cover the pot and cook for 3 minutes until wilted. Discard the cinnamon sticks.
Serve immediately over Chinese noodles.
