Cut the beef into small slices about 1 1/2
inches square and 1/6 inch thick. Marinade in onion, ginger, star anise,
soy sauce, wine, hot bean paste, sugar, salt and oil for about 30
minutes.
After soaked, dredge each slice of beef
with the rice powder. Then steam it in a shallow bowl over high heat for
20 minutes (if you use the special small steamer the time will be 15
minutes).
Before serve, sprinkle some chopped green
onion and brown peppercorn powder over the beef.
