Methods/Steps

First of all, let's prepare the ingredients. Beef should be chosen with some fat for flavor, and it would be better if you use brisket for this dish. The tomatoes should be a little more ripe, it will be easier to fry the soup.
2
Next deal with the ingredients: we cut the beef into larger pieces, because beef shrinks when it gets hot, so cut it as large as possible, cut it and put it in cool water to soak up the blood.

Soak the beef out of the water, cold water into the pot, the water boiled scooped to the froth, the beef with a slotted spoon out, and rinse with hot water. (Because beef will be more blood than other meat, so after blanching to rinse, but must use hot water, or blanched beef will be hardened in the cold, and then how to cook will not have a soft texture)

Blend 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, tomato paste can make the soup more sweet and sour and rich, then put in 5 pieces of rock sugar, pour in hot water that has not exceeded the ingredients, the water must be added at once, a little bit more doesn't matter, and to use hot water, don't use cold water. Cover the pot with a lid and bring it to a boil over high heat, then turn down the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
