Braised Beef Tenderloin in Red Sauce

Braised Beef Tenderloin in Red Sauce

Beef loin is blanched, then braised with a whole pantry of spices including cassia, star anise, tsaoko, angelica root, bay leaves, and tangerine peel. Pressure-cooked briefly and left to soak in the spiced broth, it emerges rosy, fragrant, and five-spice aromatic.
