1. Put raw beef in cold water. When we buy a piece of raw beef to go home, we should first wash it briefly, and then soak it in a clear water basin for about 2 hours. We can change cold water twice in the middle to let the blood in the beef soak out completely. This seemingly simple operation may be easily overlooked by many friends.

2. Put hawthorn in beef stew. When we wash beef, we can cut it into mahjong-sized squares, put it in a stew pot and add a proper amount of water. At this time, you must add some dried hawthorn to the pot, because hawthorn can easily soften the beef, which not only reduces the time, but also makes the stewed beef go bad. If you like beef stew, don't forget to put a few dried hawthorn, which will get twice the result with half the effort.

3. Put beer in beef stew. Beer is an alcoholic beverage brewed by liquid fermentation, which can not only be drunk, but also be used as an auxiliary material in cooking. For example, stewed pork ribs, pork belly, stewed chicken, stewed fish, and stewed beef can all be added with a proper amount of beer, which can not only remove the fishy smell, but also enhance the flavor of the meat and make the dishes brighter. Therefore, when stewing beef, it is usually recommended to add a proper amount of beer to make the dishes more effective.
