Tomato-Garlic Braised Beef
This dish takes the comforting idea of pot roast and reimagines it through a Vietnamese lens, inspired by the flavors of Bo Kho, a beloved tomato-based braised beef traditionally served family-style. Chef Elaine slow-braises the beef in a concentrated tomato-garlic sauce, layered with savory aromatics and subtle umami for depth rather than sweetness.The sauce is rich, glossy, and spoonable—meant to be poured generously over sweet potato mash.
