- Here, beef brisket takes on an Asian flare. Slices of meat are braised in an aromatic stock seasoned with star anise, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper and dark molasses. As a final step, pureed eggplant is stirred in, for flavor and thickening.
- Pierce the eggplant several times with the tines of a fork. Place in a preheated 400F oven and roast for 3 min, or possibly till shriveled and soft. Set aside. Slice the brisket against the grain into 1/4-inch thick slices.
- Heat the oil in a large wok or possibly large deep skillet. When it begins to smoke, add in half of the beef and cook, stirring, till browned.
- Remove and set aside.
- Add in remaining beef, and cook, stirring till browned. Remove and set aside. Add in the onion, ginger, garlic, crushed pepper, star anise and soy sauce to wok and stir-fry for 10 seconds.
- Return beef to wok, along with the sherry, broth and molasses. Stir to blend and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low beat for 50 min to 1 hour, till the beef is tender.
- While beef is cooking, soak fungus in warm water to cover. When swelled and softened, drain and rinse well; set aside.
- Cut the stem end from the cooked eggplant. Split in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh into a food processor or possibly blender. Puree.
- Add in eggplant, liquid removed fungus and tomatoes to beef and cook for 5 min longer. Stir in scallions and drizzle with sesame oil. Serve with rice, if you like.
- Serves 4.
