Tomato Beef Brisket
Overview
Eating some beef can improve human immunity and warm the stomach; tomatoes are the food with the highest lycopene content and have anti-cancer effects. The combination of the two can not only exert their respective effects, but more importantly, can enhance the blood replenishing function. Beef is rich in iron, and when paired with tomatoes, the iron can be better absorbed by the body (copied online). Personally, I think this dish is more suitable for pregnant women, postpartum women, the elderly and people with low immunity.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Wash the whole piece of beef brisket and boil the water in a pot. After the water boils, blanch the beef brisket in water to remove the blood foam
-
Rinse the beef brisket under cold water, cut into pieces, drain and set aside.
-
Appropriate amount of ginger slices and garlic, wash and set aside. Chop some green onions and use them when serving.
-
Blanch 3 tomatoes in boiling water, peel and cut into pieces (2 cut into smaller pieces, 1 into larger pieces) and set aside.
-
Heat the pot and add an appropriate amount of oil, but don't put too much. The brisket itself is also a little oily. Add a little salt to lock in the nutrients of the meat and prevent it from sticking to the pan. When the oil is hot, add the beef brisket and stir-fry.
-
When the color of the meat turns slightly golden and the aroma of the meat overflows, add the ginger slices and garlic and continue to stir-fry.
-
After the ginger and garlic are fragrant, add cooking wine and light soy sauce in sequence, and continue to stir-fry for about 2 minutes.
-
Add boiling water to the pot, enough to cover the food in the pot. Bring to a boil, turn to low heat and simmer. Adding a small spoonful of vinegar during the slow cooking process will not affect the taste, but also help the body absorb the nutrients of the meat. Add the tomatoes cut into small pieces, leaving the large tomatoes until the end.
-
Continue to simmer over low heat, about 1 hour. When the stewing time is longer, I transfer the ingredients to a small pot and simmer. Be careful not to dry it out during the process. If the soup is not enough, you can add boiling water and continue stewing without affecting the taste and nutrition. When the meat is tender, add large pieces of tomatoes and continue to simmer for 8 minutes.
-
Finally, add a little salt. It is based on personal taste. Since salt has been added before and the seasoning also has a salty taste, I only add a little. Adding too much will not taste good. Sprinkle in chopped green onions and serve.
