Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank (EASY!)

Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank

My long-awaited Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank recipe is FINALLY here!

Today I am sharing a family recipe that guarantees tender and flavorful Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank every single time.

There are so many ways to enjoy Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank; you can pair the beef shank with noodles, rice or have it on its own as an appetizer.

PRO TIP: freeze the broth, so you get extra flavorful beef shank every single time!

To be honest, it took me a while to finalize my Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank recipe because it is such an EASY recipe that I usually just eyeball the ingredients without measuring.

Every family has their recipe and version, but this is my grandma’s recipe that I grew up eating.

My husband loves braised beef shank so much that I make it at least twice a month because it is so simple.

You can also make the beef shank in bulk and freeze it for up to 40 days whenever you see beef shank on sale! 

Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank

There are many ways to enjoy Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank.

Traditionally, the beef shank is served cold; therefore, it is easy to slice thinly and served as an appetizer plate.

Here are my two favorite ways on how to enjoy Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank: 
Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank

Taiwanese Beef Noodle: One of our favorite ways to enjoy Taiwanese Braised Beef Shank is with noodles. 

  1. Add around ¼ cup of braised beef broth in a bowl, add one serving of cooked noodles and mix well. 
  2. Top the noodle with sliced beef, chopped green onion and cilantro, sliced cucumbers, and sesame seeds. 
  3. Drizzle a little bit more hot broth on top of the beef, and enjoy!

Cold Plate Beef Appetizers: The traditional way to enjoy Braised Beef Shank that you find at the night market and street stalls in Taiwan. 

  1. After braised, rest the beef in the broth overnight in the fridge
  2. The next day, cut the meat into thin slices ** the thinner, the better 
  3. Mix 1.5 tbsp of Vegetarian Oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of grated garlic, a pinch of sugar, sesame oil, and sesame seeds together. 
  4. Serve the beef with the dipping sauce and chopped cilantro and green onion. 

Here is my pro-tip: With the leftover broth, strain, and you can freeze in the ziplock bag for 30 days.

When you are ready to braise beef shank again, add the existing broth with water and more soy sauce and herb bags, and it will add another layer of flavor to the broth.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
