Enjoy the flavorful and aromatic Taiwanese Beef Rolls, a popular street food dish that combines tender braised beef shank with fresh vegetables and hoisin sauce, all wrapped in a crispy scallion pancake.

Ingredients

For the braised beef shank:

  • 1 1/2 to 2 pounds boneless beef shank
  • 2 slices ginger
  • 4 cups water (plus more for pre-boiling the beef)
  • 10 g rock sugar (or substitute granulated sugar; 10g rock sugar = about 2 teaspoons granulated)
  • 1 small cassia cinnamon stick
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 1 star anise pod
  • 1 small piece dried tangerine peel
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon white or black peppercorns
  • 3 cloves garlic (smashed)
  • 2 scallions (cut into large pieces)
  • 3 tablespoons Shaoxing wine
  • 3 tablespoons light soy sauce

  • oil (any neutral oil)
  • 1 medium cucumber (julienned)
  • 3 scallions (chopped)
  • 3 tablespoons cilantro (chopped)
  • 2–3 tablespoons hoisin sauce

Instructions

  1. Slice the beef shank: Cut into 4 to 5-inch pieces. Boil for 30 seconds, drain, and rinse.
  2. Braise the beef: Combine beef, spices, aromatics, and sauces in a pot. Simmer for 1 hour until tender. Chill for 2 hours.
  3. Prepare the pancakes: Cook until crisp. Slice the beef and prepare vegetables.
