Beef is one of the common meats. The source of beef can be cow, heifer, bull, etc. Beef can be cut into steak, beef bones or mixed with other meats to make sausages. Oxtail, liver, tongue and chest can also be eaten. Beef is rich in high-quality protein and amino acids, which is very suitable for human nutritional deficiency. Beef can improve the body's disease resistance, and has a special effect on postoperative recuperation and human growth and development. Chinese medicine believes that eating beef in cold winter has the function of warming the stomach, sometimes it can tonify the middle energizer, strengthen tendons and bones, eliminate phlegm, relieve cough and resolve phlegm, and is suitable for people with osteoporosis, anemia and yellow complexion.

However, beef should not be used too much, because its fleshy fiber is rough, and long-term consumption may lead to the destruction of gastric mucosa. So I'd like to recommend a kind of food with beef: potatoes. Eating potatoes and beef together can strengthen the body, effectively improve the crude fiber characteristics of beef and promote the absorption of beef nutrition by human body.

To make a pot of stewed beef and potatoes, it takes about 750 grams of beef and 250 grams of potatoes. Onion ginger, star anise, fragrant leaves, cinnamon bark and tsaoko can be added into the ingredients. You need to prepare the ingredients and clean them before cooking. Beef is cut into small pieces, which is convenient to prepare and eat.
