Braised Beef Brisket

Overview

Beef brisket is the soft muscle in the belly of the cow and near the ribs. It refers to the piece of meat with tendons, meat, and oil. Beef brisket is warm in nature and can easily lead to internal heat if eaten too much. This dish is especially good with tomatoes. Tomatoes are cold in nature. Stewing the two together has the effect of neutralizing the cold and heat. Therefore, this dish is suitable for people with cold or hot body.
