Tips for cooking braised beef:

1. There is no need to blanch the beef before braised. You only need to soak it in advance. I usually soak it for more than three hours, so that the braised beef tastes better. It tastes better than boiling it.

2. When braised beef, you don’t need to add ingredients such as star anise and cinnamon, which will lose the aroma of beef. You only need to add fresh ingredients such as green onions, ginger, and garlic to braised beef.

3. When stewing beef, put in enough hot water at one time. Do not add water halfway.

4. There is no need to add salt too early. It will taste better if you add salt after the beef is stewed and tender.
