1, when stewing beef, you must first marinate beef with ginger, pepper, liquor and salt 10 hour, because ginger, pepper and liquor have very powerful functions of removing fishy smell and enhancing fragrance. As long as beef is marinated with these three seasonings 10 hour, the fishy smell of beef can be removed by 90%. Adding a proper amount of salt for curing can make beef taste in advance, and it can also make beef stew more soft and rotten.
2. When stewing beef, you must blanch the beef before cutting it. If you cut the beef in advance and blanch it, it will make the beef lose more water, thus making the stewed beef very firewood.
3. The spicy spices used in beef stew need to be soaked in white wine before cooking, otherwise the stewed beef will have a little bitter taste.
