Ingredients:
2 pounds beef shim meat trimmed of all fat, gristle, and other membranes
Several cups of beef stock
8 whole star anise
4 ounces dark soy sauce
2 ounces brown sugar
1 two-inch piece of ginger

3. Add the rest of the ingredients and simmer another hour or until the meat is very tender. When done, remove the meat from the cooking liquid and let it cool. Then wrap it in aluminum foil. Place it in the refrigerator, under wights, for five to six hours. (A plate on topo with several cans on it works very well.

5. When serving, use the gelled aspic cut into small cubes as a garnish for the cold beef.
