First, cut the beef into pieces, boil water in the pot, pour the beef into the pot, add ginger slices and blanch it, then wash the beef with warm water, which must be warm water. If it gets cold again, the beef will shrink and the meat will become very hard.
Then pour the beef into the pot and start stewing. Add the appropriate amount of onion and ginger slices. When the fire boils, it becomes a small fire.
Actually, beef stew is as simple as that. Don't put some spices around, otherwise it will not only make beef fresh, but also make beef very fishy. Don't put pepper in beef stew. Pepper is a strong seasoning. Putting it in can not only refresh, but also increase the flavor of beef!
The second kind is star anise. Habitually adding a small amount of star anise when stewing meat will make the stew worse, but it is not suitable for beef. Illicium verum is a spicy condiment. If you put star anise in the stew, you will lose the taste of beef. If you want the stew to be worse, you can add a small amount of hawthorn to make the stew more delicious.
