Method
- 1 Soak the beef shank in cold water for 1 hour, changing the water three times to remove the blood and give the meat a bright color.
- 2 Boil the meat with radishes, onions, garlic, ginger, and star anise over low heat for 90 minutes.
- 3 Keep the water simmering; if it boils vigorously, the meat will shrink and cannot be sliced thinly.
- 4 Turn off the heat and let the meat cool in the broth for 30 minutes so that it absorbs the remaining liquid.
- 5 Slice thinly (2 mm) across the grain using a very sharp knife.
- 6 Mix soy sauce with vinegar, crushed mustard seeds, and pepper to make a dipping sauce.
