Red braising uses a soy sauce-based liquid to flavor the featured protein. This version uses sous vide mode in the Anova Precision Oven to produce succulent beef slices for the sandwich. Using the probe will help you know when the beef is perfectly cooked. Note: You will have to make the shao bing recipe (also in the Oven App) in advance.
