Beef stew

 I love cooking and enjoy delicious food. This is my first time to make a beef stew. However, I don’t like it….

 I was going to make a "boeuf Bourguignon"this afternoon, but I forgot to buy a beef broth, a very important material for boeuf Bourguignon. Therefore, a traditional Chinese beef stew was coming, because it doesn’t need beef broth and easy to cook. Ok, Every material were ready, Let's cook!

 At first,I fired onions, tomatos, celery, gingers, and the beefs. Second, put all of them into a deep pot with a little salt, 2 bay leaves and 2 piece of aniseed. Finally, stewed them with low fire. After three hours. done!

 The beef stew cost me three hours. Yes, a little tough, not as easy as I thought before. However, although it smells good, the beef is a lot bit hard. Maybe I should use sirloin next time.
