Beef stew with potatoes

Overview

The temperature is going to drop in the past few days, and the weather forecast says it will snow. Hurry up and eat more meat to get your body in shape to withstand this severe winter. It has been exactly four months since I moved to Shandong. This will be my first winter here, and I am full of expectations but also a little worried. For someone like me who is afraid of the cold, when I heard that the snow can fall knee-deep, I kept thinking how cold it must be! ! When I came to Rongcheng, I discovered that the products here are really rich. Because it is very close to the sea, you can often buy all kinds of unknown fresh sea fish; there are many varieties of vegetables, which are fresh and cheap; beef, mutton, and donkey meat can basically be bought in the market. For a food lover like me, this is a treasure. Every time I go to the market, I have become an indispensable part of my life. I carefully select every ingredient and make delicious meals for my family. It is really extremely happy to see the whole family happily gathering together and eating the food I made. This is my first time buying beef shoulder and I will try to stew it to see how it tastes. The only seasoning is salt, but the taste is extremely delicious.
