1, pepper

Pepper has a strong taste and a hemp taste, which many people are not used to. Generally, when cooking braised pork, you can add some pepper to taste. Of course, you need experienced people to cover up the taste of pepper. If it's beef stew, don't put pepper, or a pot of soup will lose the delicacy of beef, and it's just pepper flushing the nose.

2, green onions

The green onion is very fragrant, and it is often used as an important seasoning in life to remove fishy smell and change the taste of mutton. But beef stew is an exception. Stewed beef is to keep the original flavor of beef. The green onions will lose their delicious taste, and they will be older and darker. Better put them in.

3. fennel

Fennel is absolutely delicious and fragrant if served with roast beef. There is no need to put fennel in stewed beef. Stewed beef with fennel, you will find that there is always a smell of fennel wrapped around the tip of your tongue, but it will make the meat and soup very sweet and greasy, and it will also make the beef look deep and affect your appetite.

4, star anise

Star anise can improve the flavor of beef, beef has no fishy smell, but the meat quality of stewed beef will harden and become firewood, which is not easy to chew, just like a rag. The delicacy and smoothness of beef are gone.

Pay attention to two points in beef stew:

1, when you stew beef, you can't cook it directly, or the beef will stink. The correct way is to cut the beef into pieces and soak it in clear water for a while, so that all the blood in the beef can be forced out, and the stewed beef is very delicious. If you put the beef directly into the pot, the blood will not come out and the taste will be bad.

2, stewed beef can not be urgent, it is more delicious to stew slowly. In fact, when you stew beef, you should avoid putting two seasonings, pepper and aniseed. Adding these two seasonings can not only remove the fishy smell, but also have peculiar smell.
