The very first time I had this was with a couple of Chinese friends at a restaurant that catered to Chinese. Actually they had a special menu just for Chinese people. It is like a beef stew and the star anise gives it a great flavor.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the beef was tender and flavorful. I think I'll try it again with less sugar.

The beef was overcooked and the anise flavor was overpowering. I won't be making this dish again.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
