This hearty, aromatic stew, called niu rou fang zang, is a dish from the Hui people, or Chinese ethnic Muslims. Star anise, five-spice powder and Sichuan peppercorns combine to yield warm, subtly sweet and gently tingling spice notes, while a generous dose of herbs adds freshness. We use beef shanks, as the bones contribute richness to the simple braise. Serve with steamed or stir-fried greens and rice or warmed flatbread.
