Tips and tricks
1
Heat a heavy-based pot over a medium-high heat. Rub the beef and ginger pieces with the oil, then brown on both sides in the hot pot. Do this in batches, so as not to overcrowd the pot.
2
Add the ginger, oyster sauce, sugar and salt and pepper. Stir well, then pour in 1.2 litres of hot water. Cover and simmer gently for about 2 ½ hours until the beef is tender, and you can easily shred it with a fork.

4
