Over medium heat, add the star anise, cassia bark, bay leaves, black cardamom husk, Sichuan peppercorns, and fennel seeds. Stir-fry about 10 times, then add the chopped dried chilies and doubanjiang. Fry until fragrant, being careful not to burn the paste.

Add the beef and stir-fry until the moisture is released, then pour in 500 ml of boiling water.
