Brilio.net - Beef is the right choice as a source of protein in the daily menu. According to webmd.com, in addition to protein, beef is also rich in vitamins B12, B3, B6, selenium, and iron which are useful for increasing energy and preventing cancer.
There are many recipes for beef-based dishes, but beef stew remains a favorite of many people. Beef stew has a sweet and savory taste with a unique brown appearance. The deliciousness of beef stew lies not only in the broth, but also in the texture of the meat. The more tender the meat, the more delicious and appetizing the stew.
To get a tender meat texture, some people choose to boil the meat first for hours. Once tender, the meat is mixed with stew spices. Although the results are tender, this method takes more time and energy, and makes gas usage wasteful.
To minimize this from happening, you can copy the recipe shared by YouTube user ria zi. In addition to being easy to copy, this netizen only needs 30 minutes to cook beef stew. Even so, the results of the beef stew are still tender and fail-proof.
"This is guaranteed to be very soft and tasty when eaten," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube ria zi.
First, puree 4 cloves of shallots, 4 cloves of garlic, 4 candlenuts, 1 segment of ginger, 1/2 segment of galangal, 1/2 tsp of peppercorns, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg powder, 1 tsp of powdered stock, 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of granulated sugar. Once done, saute until it gives off a fragrant aroma.

When it smells good, add 1 cinnamon stick, 3 cloves, and 2 bay leaves to the pan. Stir until the stir-fry is perfectly cooked.

When the spices are cooked, pour 700 ml of water into the pan. Stir and cook until boiling. When it boils, add 500 grams of beef that has been cut into pieces.
"Add soy sauce and cook until boiling. Once boiling, cover and cook for 5 minutes over medium heat," he explained further.

After cooking for 5 minutes, turn off the stove. Do not open the lid of the pan, just let the meat soak in the spices for 30 minutes.
"After 30 minutes, open the lid, stir and bring to a boil again," he said.

When the beef stew is boiling, cover the pan and cook for 7 minutes. After 7 minutes, turn off the stove and let it sit for 30 minutes.
After letting it sit for 30 minutes, cook the beef stew again for a few moments until the water reduces. If you feel the texture is right, turn off the stove and serve the beef stew.
