Tips:
1. The function of boiling beef in a cold water pot is to remove blood water and impurities. Because the water temperature and the temperature of the beef are together from cold to hot, the beef will not become tight due to the sudden change in temperature, which will affect the taste. Then rinse the beef again with hot running water, the same goes for.
2. The rock sugar is added to neutralize the acidity of tomatoes, and it can also improve freshness.
3. This dish can also be cooked in a pressure cooker, which saves time: first cook the sirloin broth. After the steam is released, press it on a medium heat for 20 minutes. The temperature is naturally cooled until the lid of the pressure cooker can be opened, and the cut tomatoes, potatoes and Onion, after the steam is released, press it on medium heat for 10 minutes.
4. Stew for 2 hours to make the tomatoes more delicious, and the length of time can be adjusted according to your own taste.
