Improved Sichuan Style Braised Beef

Overview

Beef is an excellent high-protein food. It is rich in nutrients and easy to be absorbed by the body. It contains a large amount of protein, a small amount of fat, calcium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, niacin, and a small amount of vitamin A. 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. The braised beef dish I made today is based on the authentic Sichuan style braised beef recipe and modified with local tastes. It is ok whether you are making a meal or making braised beef noodles. Friends who want to eat it should follow suit! 😄
