Ingredients for steak: 11 pieces of ginger, 7 slices of Sichuan peppercorns, a small handful of dried chili peppers, 3 to 4 star anise, 1 small corner of cooking wine (optional), bowl of cooking wine, 1 bowl of dark soy sauce, 1 spoon of half light soy sauce, 2 spoons of rock sugar, 4 to 5 steaks, washed.

Blanch for 30 to 40 minutes to remove the water.

Put all the ingredients except rock sugar and the steak in the pot, add water (be careful not to cover the steak with water, let the steak show its corners), start to stew, after the high heat comes to a boil, turn to a low heat and continue to stew until the meat becomes tender.

Add rock sugar when you like it (I like to stew it until it falls off the bones?), wait until the sugar has melted, and then take it out of the pot in another 5 minutes.
