BEEF BRISKET

Beef Brisket is one of my comfort foods back home and probably one of the most ordered dish in the Chinese' menu. I can't claim the same thing right now as new delicious dishes came into play but as you say it, "if it's flavourful" it's classic! 

This is my kids "one of their fave"... {actually everything is their fave😄}.

Then add back the beef. Drop some salt and pepper.

Bring to a boil and simmer with occasional stirring for about an hour or so until the meat is soft. {you can watch your favourite series while waiting😉}

Add water if need to prevent it from burning or drying. 

When meat is ready, add carrots and ginger, let the it cook for a few minutes.

At this time your sauce must have been reduced.

Check the taste and adjust to your preference using the seasonings.

Serve and enjoy!
