【Braised Beef Shank in Soybean Paste】
by MaomaoMom
I made this braised beef shank in soybean paste for dinner.. With aid of an electric pressure cooker, this dish can be done in 45 minutes. The meat is so tender and full of flavour.

Meal type: Beef
Prepare time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Stand time: 30 minutes
Level: Easy
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients:
1) 1000g beef shank or beef stew;
2) 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp chili bean paste, 1 tbsp sweet soybean paste, 2 green onion chopped to 2-inch length, 10 g sliced fresh ginger, 5-6 cloves of garlic, crushed;
3) 1 tsp Chinese cooking wine, 1 tbsp light soy sauce, 1 tbsp dark soy sauce, 2 tsp sugar, 1/3 tsp salt, 3-4 tbsp water.
Directions:
1: Soak beef in cold water for 30 minutes and then drain. Dice beef into 4x2x2 cm pieces. Place a non-stick sauté pan on high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and beef (Picture 1). Sauté for a few minutes until water evaporates and beef turns brown (Picture 2). Transfer beef in a bowl and set aside.
2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in the same pan over medium-high heat. Sauté 1 chili bean paste and sweet soybean paste for about 30 seconds. Add chopped green onion, ginger and garlic (Picture 3), continue sauté for 30 seconds. Put the beef back into the pan, and sauté for 1 minute (Picture 4), then add all ingredients of Ingredient 3).

3: Transfer beef and sauce into InstantPot pressure cooker (Picture 5). Cover the lid and place the pressure valve in “Seal” position. Press “Manual” button and set 38 minutes of cooking time.
4: When the program is done, wait another 5 minutes. Slowly release the pressure then open the lid (Picture 6). Select “Sauté” and set temperature to “More”, stir occasionally until the sauce is reduced to 1/3. If your pressure cooker does not have the “Sauté” function, use the non-stick sauté pan.
5: Transfer the braised beef shank into to a serving bowl, serve immediately over rice. Yummy!!




I know of the fact that today, more and more people are being attracted to digital cameras and the area of picture taking. However, as a photographer, it’s important to first devote so much time deciding which model of photographic camera to buy plus moving store to store just so you may buy the lowest priced camera of the brand you have decided to settle on. But it would not end at this time there. You also have to take into account whether you should obtain a digital digital camera extended warranty. Thanks for the good points I gained from your web site.
Interesting post here. One thing I’d like to say is the fact most professional job areas consider the Bachelors Degree just as the entry level standard for an online certification. Although Associate Diplomas are a great way to begin with, completing your Bachelors presents you with many opportunities to various professions, there are numerous online Bachelor Course Programs available via institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another concern is that many brick and mortar institutions offer Online variations of their degree programs but typically for a considerably higher fee than the institutions that specialize in online course plans.
One thing I’d like to touch upon is that fat burning plan fast is possible by the appropriate diet and exercise. A person’s size not just affects the look, but also the quality of life. Self-esteem, melancholy, health risks, as well as physical capabilities are disturbed in fat gain. It is possible to just make everything right but still gain. In such a circumstance, a condition may be the perpetrator. While an excessive amount of food rather than enough workout are usually the culprit, common health concerns and trusted prescriptions can greatly add to size. I am grateful for your post here.
