Instructions:

1. Sear the Beef:

• Heat the unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat until melted.

2. Sauté Aromatics:

• Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the empty side of the pot.

• Stir-fry until they turn golden and release their fragrance.
  
  

3. Add Seasonings:

• Add the satay sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce and sugar.

• Pour in enough water to just cover all the ingredients.

• Add star anise, bay leaves and a splash of white wine. Mix well.
  
  

4. Simmer the Stew:

• Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer gently for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  
  

5. Add Turnips:

• Add the mooli pieces and continue simmering for an additional 30 minutes, until the mooli and beef are tender.
  
  

6. Season and Serve:

• Before serving, season with black pepper to taste.

• Serve the stew hot, paired with steamed rice or crusty bread.
  
  

Tips:

• Stir occasionally to prevent the stew from sticking to the pot.

• Ensure the liquid level remains just above the ingredients throughout cooking, add more water if necessary.
