RECIPE

Ingredients
– 1 lb beef brisket
– 8 whole cloves
– 3 star anise
– 4 cardamom pods
– 1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
– 2 bay leaves
– 4 tbsp salt
– 3 thai red chili peppers
– 3 garlic cloves
– 1 inch ginger knob (sliced)
– 2 cups water
– 1/2 cup vinegar
– 1 cup broth (dashi, chicken, beef)
– 2 egg whites
– 1 tsp lemon juice
– 1/2 cup honey
– 1 tbsp shallots
– 1 tbsp red wine
– 1 tbsp soy sauce
– 1 tbsp butter
– 2 egg yolk
– 1 package puff pastry

Directions
– Combine spices into a bowl. Heat water and vinegar in a saucepan. Add spices into liquid and heat
to dissolve salt. Pour over beef brisket in a container. Cover with plastic wrap and put in fridge for 48 hours.
Flip once after 24 hours.
– Place pickled beef on roasting rack and put in oven for 1 hour at 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
– During this, add spices and 1/2 cup of brine into saucepan. Add 1 cup of broth. Simmer for a few minutes then
strain spices. Take beef out and braise with this liquid and repeat every 30 minutes. Allow beef to cook for an additional
1 hour 30 minutes (Total Time: 2 hour 30 minutes) Shred beef after it has cooled.
– Place 2 egg whites into stand mixer then add lemon juice. Set mixer on high speed and
slowly drizzle honey. Continue to whisk until stiff peaks form.
– Use a small rounded dish to form two bases out of puff pastry. Mix beef and merengue together and place
large pile on top of the puff pastry base. Cover with a sheet of puff pastry, cut excess off. Use a fork to crimp
edges and seal. Use a small knife to create the spiral formation across the top of the pastry. Brush the pastries
with egg yolk. Put in oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
– While in oven, add 1 tbsp shallots into a pan with neutral oil. Saute for 30 seconds
then deglaze with red wine. Add pan drippings from beef and reduce to half. Add 1 tbsp
soy sauce and then 1 tbsp of butter to thicken sauce.
– Take pastry out and plate. Drizzle sauce around the edges then garnish with cilantro (optional)
