Ingredients: 500g beef, 600g fresh rice noodles, 250g tomatoes, 150g onions, 15g garlic, 30g scallions, 30g cilantro, 1 bay leaf, 2 star anise, 2g cinnamon, 15ml oyster sauce, 5g seasoning powder, 5g five-spice powder, 5g ground pepper, 5g sugar, 5g annatto seeds, 60ml red wine.
Making:
- Marinating the meat: Choose beef with plenty of tendons and some fat. Wash thoroughly, cut into bite-sized pieces; it's best to cut them slightly larger so the meat shrinks a bit during cooking. Marinate the meat with 1 teaspoon (5g) of seasoning powder, ½ teaspoon (2g) of ground pepper, 1 tablespoon (15ml) of oyster sauce, ½ teaspoon of sugar, ½ teaspoon of five-spice powder, and 2 tablespoons (30ml) of red wine for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate. If possible, refrigerate the meat in an airtight container for 2-4 hours.
- Prepare the other ingredients: Wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic. Pick, wash, and finely chop the scallions and cilantro.
- Heat about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pot, add the annatto seeds and roast until the red color is gone, then remove them. The annatto color is optional; if you don't use it, you can replace the oil with butter. This wine sauce tastes better with a little butter (it goes well with pho too).
- Sauté the garlic in the same pan where you roasted the cashews, then add the onions and stir-fry until slightly browned.
- Add tomatoes and beef to the pot, stir until the meat is just cooked through and browned. Pour about 4 large bowls of boiling water into the pot, bring to a boil again, and skim off any foam (if any). Note that using hot water prevents the meat from shrinking suddenly and losing moisture.
- Add bay leaves, star anise, and cinnamon sticks to the pot. Season to taste. Cover and simmer over low heat until the beef is tender.
- Blanch fresh rice noodles in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then divide evenly into bowls, sprinkle with chopped scallions and cilantro, and pour in broth and beef before enjoying.
