Beef Ribs with Tomato
1.
Prepare materials. There is no ginger at home, so ginger powder is used instead, preferably ginger.
2.
Cut the tomatoes into cubes and don't need to be too small, because the beef stew will be tender for a long time.
3.
The beef ribs are cut into pieces, the size is according to personal preference and own time. If you have enough time, you can make it a little bigger, and simmer it for a while. Time is a little shorter.
4.
Fill a wok with water, add beef cubes, green onions, star anise, and bay leaves in cold water.
5.
The fire boiled. Because the meat is very clean, you don't need to cook it separately and skim out the froth directly.
6.
Add cooking wine, rice vinegar, light soy sauce (not too much), pepper powder, ginger powder, and half of the tomatoes. Bring to a medium-low heat and simmer for 40 minutes.
7.
Then add the other half of the tomatoes and tomato paste, boil on high heat and simmer again on medium-low heat for 30 minutes, then add salt, and simmer for another 10 minutes.
8.
If you like beef that is soft and rotten, you can appropriately increase the time and master it yourself.
Tips:
1 You need to buy fresh and clean ribs, because my method does not have the step of blanching, so they are stewed directly.
2 I don't like non-stick pans. Although it is convenient, I always feel that the coating is unhealthy, and the original taste of the dishes cannot be produced. So I have been using Supor's uncoated cast iron pan, 32cm large enough, and used it for many years. But the results in the last two years are obviously not as good as the previous ones. This dish does not use a casserole, it tastes better in an iron pot.
3 If you don't like too sour, you can omit the tomato sauce.
