Typically a Taiwanese food (so I am told), the scallion pancake beef roll can be consumed any time of day. I have personally ingested this majestic meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes on the same day!
The most time consuming part of making this food is cooking the meat. The beef shank has to cook for a minimum of 2 hours (unless you have a microwave pressure cooker). Using a variety of spices and flavors, the beef shank absorbs an amazing array of components resulting in a flavorful meet that is tender and delicious. Add in a scallion pancake, which is nothing but a scallion flavored roti bread type thing, and spread hoisin sauce. The end result is nothing but magical and you will ask yourself "where has this been all my life?" Its easy to make if you have the time to wait, and so worth the time. Scallion Pancake Beef Roll! Delicious. Thanks for watching and make sure to share this with friends and family who enjoy making good food at home. We do.Ingredients:
