Since ancient times, beef has been an indispensable dish on the banquet table. Not to mention the taste of beef, its nutritional value is enough for people to rush.

Beef is rich in protein, and its amino acid composition is closer to human body needs than pork. It can improve the body's ability to resist diseases. It is especially suitable for growth and development, postoperative, and post-ill care for people who are replenishing blood loss and repairing tissue. Beef can also be safe Qi, invigorate the spleen and stomach, strengthen muscles and bones. It is an indispensable nutritious food when children grow up.

The Spring Festival coincides with the coldest time of the year. At this time, relatives and friends gather together, accompanied by fine wine, and eat more beef, which can warm the stomach and help the wine, which is really rare.
For the Hunanese, the best way to eat beef is the spicy beef cubes. The humid and cold winter creates the instinct of spicy food in Hunan. Beef with chili and a simple stir-fry is quite delicious. A bowl of spicy beef served on the table, all of them sweating profusely. It is more enjoyable than a sauna. After a meal, the whole body is warm, and this winter is no longer afraid of the cold.
