Tips:
1. The beef stew should not be sparing of the fire, and simmer slowly for a few hours until the beef tendons are soft and rotten;
2. Pepper, star anise, bay leaf, grass fruit, bean paste and other ingredients can be fried when choking dried chili, or added in stewing soup. The former has a stronger flavor, while the latter retains the flavor of beef and tomato more;
3. There is salt in the bean paste, so add a little less salt.
