Melanie Jimenez's Korean Beef Stew

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 kilos beef ribs, sliced into 3-inch cubes
• 4 pcs star anise
• 2 tbsps sesame oil
• 4 tbsps sugar
• 1 cup Kikkoman soy sauce
• 3 cups water
• 2 small red chilies, chopped
• 2 stalks onion leeks, sliced thinly
• 2 tbsps sesame seeds

Directions:

Place the first seven ingredients in a large pot with a lid. Bring to a boil over high heat; turn down the heat to medium-low and keep the mixture at a constant simmer. Simmer, covered, for a good 40 minutes or until the meat is tender.

Remove the lid and simmer an additional 15 to 20 minutes to reduce the liquid. The broth will thicken slightly. Stir in the onion leeks and sesame seeds.

Serve over hot steamed rice.
