Ingredients
3 lb stewing Beef
2 teaspoons Sugar
4 tablespoons Soya Sauce
4 tablespoons Sherry
2 slices Root Ginger
2 medium Onions sliced
1 tablespoon dried Tangerine Peel
Oil for deep frying
Method
Cut the beef into 1 inch squares. Deep fry for 3-3 and a half minutes. Drain, place in a large saucepan and cover with boiling water. Bring to the boil and keep boiling for 2 minutes. Pour away the water and transfer the beef to a casserole. Add sugar, soya sauce, sherry, ginger, onion, tangerine peel and 1 1/2 pints fresh water.
Close the lid of the casserole. Place in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees F, gas 5, for half an hour. Reduce the heat to 325 degrees F, gas 3, for 4 hours. Turn the beef over gently every hour. When ready, the beef should be so tender that it practically disintegrates. Delicious with rice.
