Braised Beef with Tomato Sauce and Potatoes

Overview

Yesterday I packed the refrigerator and even packed out the beef for the Chinese New Year. I didn’t have any vegetables at home and I didn’t know what to make. Fortunately, I packed up another potato, so I could only make beef-potato roast. Since there were no tomatoes, I added a spoonful of tomato sauce, which finally tasted better. My daughter also poured the soup on the rice and said it was beef rice bowl, and she ate it with gusto. Beef is rich in protein, and its amino acid composition is closer to the needs of the human body than pork. It can improve the body's disease resistance. It is particularly suitable for people who are growing and developing, recovering from surgery or illness, in terms of supplementing blood loss and repairing tissues. Eating beef in the cold winter has the effect of warming the stomach and is a good tonic in the cold winter. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that beef has the effects of replenishing qi, nourishing the spleen and stomach, strengthening muscles and bones, reducing phlegm and calming wind, and quenching thirst and salivation. It is suitable for people with depression of Qi, shortness of breath, physical weakness, weak muscles and bones, anemia, chronic illness, and yellowish and dizzy complexion.
