Beef stew

Beef stew is a classic Chinese dish that is hearty, flavorful and perfect for cooler weather. The dish typically consists of tender chunks of beef that are slowly simmered with a variety of vegetables, spices and seasonings until they are melt-in-your-mouth tender. The key to a great beef stew is using the right cut of beef, such as chuck or brisket, which have enough fat and connective tissue to break down and create a rich, flavorful broth. Popular vegetables used in beef stew include carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery, while spices like star anise, cinnamon, and cloves add depth and complexity to the dish. Beef stew is typically served with steamed rice and is a comforting, satisfying meal that is sure to warm you up on a chilly day.
