Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, toss the beef with the Chinese Five Spice and Taiwanese Pepper Salt until evenly coated.
Step 2
Heat 1 Tbsp of butter or oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, setting the seared meat aside on a plate.
Step 3
Lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter or oil. Add the leeks, garlic, and onions, cooking until they are translucent.
Step 4
Return the beef to the pot, then add the carrots, beef stock, and herbs. Stir well, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
Cover the pot with its lid and cook in the oven for 2 hours.
Step 6
Remove the pot and add the baby potatoes, then return it to the oven for another 30 minutes until the meat and potatoes are tender.
Step 7
Stir in the Worcestershire sauce. Taste the stew and add more Taiwanese Pepper Salt to suit your preference.
