Directions
Chinese Cold Spiced Beef, My DH loves to order this appetizer, when he can find it, at Chinese restaurants. Cook time includes simmering but not cooling or chilling., Reminds me of the cold dish used to have in Asia- really good. Time consuming to make; but easy to keep and very easy to bring out when you want to eat it (once its made). Instead of peppercorn, I put coriander seeds (which I saw from another recipe). I have made this quite a few times since I found the recipe and everyone loves it!, My DH loves to order this appetizer, when he can find it, at Chinese restaurants.
