Cooking StepsHow to cook Braised Beef with Tomatoes step by step

Step 1 Detail

Blanch the beef in boiling water. For fresh beef, no additional seasonings are needed; if the beef has a slight gamey smell, add some cooking wine.
Step 2 Detail

Heat oil in a wok, add scallions and ginger and fry until fragrant. Add star anise and beef, a splash of light soy sauce and oyster sauce, and stir-fry for 2 minutes until the moisture from the beef has cooked out.
Step 3 Detail

Add the diced tomatoes (a little tomato paste can be added for extra flavor). Cook until the tomatoes break down into a saucy consistency, then pour in hot water and braise for 2.5 hours.
Step 4 Detail

Before serving, season with sugar and salt to taste, and add a dash of chicken bouillon. Turn off the heat and garnish with cilantro.
