Winter is here in Australia, and nothing warms you up better than comfort food. In this post I want to share with you my recipe of khow nua ob, aka Asian style braised beef with rice. You may not see this dish often in Thai restaurants and that is among the reasons I want to share it with you.

 

 

Asian style braised beef is cooked using a similar method to the European style, but with added Asian herbs and spices like cinnamon and star anise, and the most commonly used
Thai pastes featuring garlic, pepper and coriander roots.

 

 

 

For the beef cut you can use varieties such as chuck, gravy, casserole, ribs etc. The cooking method can also be adjusted and includes slow cook, braising on a stove, pressure cooking or using a cast iron pot.
