Ginger dressing

Method
STEP 1
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Season the beef and cook, turning occasionally, for 8 mins or until the beef is browned.
STEP 2
Transfer beef to a slow cooker with turnip, ginger, garlic, spring onion, Chinese cooking wine, honey, soy sauce, star anise, cinnamon and 4 cups (1L) water. Cover and cook for 4 hours on high (or 8 hours on low) or until the beef is tender.
STEP 3
Meanwhile, to make the ginger dressing, place vegetable oil and ginger in a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-5 mins or until ginger is golden. Remove from heat. Carefully stir in vinegar, honey, soy sauce and sesame oil.
STEP 4
Transfer the beef and turnip to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm. Strain 2 cups (500ml) of cooking liquid into a frying pan. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Cook for 8 mins or until mixture reduces slightly. Add the beef and turnip. Turn to coat. Transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with dressing.
