Hi there,
I found a beef pares recipe from marketphil.com website. Here it is (forwarded, i haven't tried it yet, but this member called mrcomp is a good cook and posts a lot of recipes on that forum)
Recipe for BEEF PARES
Ingredients
1/2 kilo brisket of beef with mostly meat and a bit of fat (you can also substitute any boneless beef cut with a little fat coz this gives it
more flavor) about 2/3 to 1 cup soy sauce preferably Kikkoman, any japanese brand, dark chinese brand, Golden Swan local or
Coconut brand. Not Carp, Lorins, Silver Swan, etc. 1-2 cloves garlic finely mashed 4-5 tbsp. sugar ground black pepper 1 big finely chopped onion 1 cup water 2-4 pcs Star Anise (you can buy at supermarts also called SANGKE) 3-6 tbsps chinese rice wine (optional) 1 tbsp cornstarch diluted in 1/3 cup water
Procedure
Start with lower limits of recipe portions (i.e. 2/3 cup of soy sauce instead of 1
cup). it is better to add little by little than to overdo it. Mix all ingredients ina
a bowl except cornstarch diluted with water. Turn heat to high and when boiling, turn
to low heat to simmer beef until tender. Add more water if sauce evaporates too
quickly.. Taste for seasonings and add pepper, sugar, soy sauce according to your
taste. lastly add cornstarch diluted with water to thicken sauce.
Thats it.
Enjoy
* these are approximate measurements coz i dont measure when i cook.
