<IngredientText>Asado Bulalo, Beef Shank Asado. Beef Shank to Pinoys is normally prepared as soup base dish called bulalo, beef shanks when slowly boiled till tender will result in a very rich soup dish fortified with the bone marrow. Of course beef shank or bulalo can be cooked in other ways, I have already posted several methods and have included the list below. Today I have tried another method and the resultant dish, superb. It’s a version of beef asado but instead of using beef brisket I have used saw cut beef shank. The recipe is simple, ingredients used are available in most Pinoy homes except for the hoisin sauce but that could be omitted if it’s not available. Star anise is enough to do the trick for the Chinese aroma required to the dish.
