Boiled beef

Boiled beef

Overview

This dish looks red and fiery, tastes numb, spicy, fresh and fragrant. The meat slices are tender and easy to chew, the vegetables are fresh and tender, and the soup is red and shiny. It is a very classic Sichuan dish. Every time I see that bowl of red and spicy meat, my mouth is watering, and it always tempts me to eat an extra bowl of rice. It is actually not difficult to make such a popular dish at home, and it is easier to follow your own preferences. For example, if you like to eat meat, add more meat... I highly recommend everyone to try it at home
