The method of cooking is wrong. It may be that the cooking time is too long and there is too much water. It is not suitable to simmer the pot lid.

Correct method:

There are two basic methods of braised beef with potatoes: one is stewed, and the other is braised.

1. Stew.

1. Wash and cut fat and lean beef (beef brisket is best) and potatoes into walnut-sized pieces, and set aside for later use. Crush or slice a piece of ginger. Salt, monosodium glutamate, cinnamon, kaempferol, green onion, and a little coriander.

2. If the beef is brisket, it is best to blanch it in boiling water. Take it out, add water to cover the meat, add ginger, cinnamon, and kaempferol, bring to a boil and simmer over low heat for more than an hour until the meat is tender. Add a little more salt and MSG.

3. Scoop out part of the stewed beef soup, add the potatoes and simmer until the potatoes are cooked. Add the rest of the beef, bring to a boil, and taste until the flavor is moderate. Put it into a bowl and sprinkle with some shredded green onion and chopped coriander.

2. Braised in braise

Other steps are the same as stewing, except that when cooking beef, the soup should be slightly less, and a few dried chili peppers or a little chili powder should be added (how much spicy depends on the individual) (Depending on the degree), add half a teaspoon of soy sauce to make the soup red. After the beef is cooked, add the potatoes at the end and simmer until cooked through.

Three suggestions:

1. During the potato harvest season, buy egg-yolk-sized potatoes to make braised beef and braised potatoes. You can wash them and braise them with their skins on. Children especially like to eat these. Small round potatoes; last year I traveled to Tibet and found that Tibetan areas also have the habit of stewing whole small potatoes into dishes. Fresh potato skins contain phosphorus, which is good for brain health.

2. Stewed beef and potatoes, if you add one or two tomatoes (tomato sauce is also acceptable), the appearance and taste will be better.

3.. Add some beef to the stewed beef and potatoes, then add tomatoes, cabbage leaves (sliced), and onions (a little) to make a delicious Western-style borscht.

4. Add a little curry powder to the soup before cooking the braised beef and potatoes. It is very delicious. It is a famous dish - curry beef.

5. If you don’t have cinnamon and kaempferol in the above two methods of stewing and braised, just add more ginger, and the taste will be very good. However, if ginger is missing, the flavor will be lost.
