How to make Chinese Braised Beef /紅燒牛肉/Chinese Food, Cooking and Recipes

[JJRR313]

why my braised beef is sooo tough! it's hardly to chew!

[presa1200]

@JJRR313 which part of beef did you use and how many hours of simmering? these are important factors

Hi. Thank you for sharing. Out of curiosity, why do you use olive oil? My understanding is that olive oil is NOT a Chinese ingredient - it is too "strong flavored", and also has a very low "burn point". Thanks again!

Regards, BZ.

@benzuckerman This is just my personal preference, I also found grape seed oil is very nice too. People usually use peanut oil or corn oil in Chinese cooking, but I really dislike them. I found peanut oil or corn oil make dishes taste too heavy and greasy. I actually feel olive oil is lighter and has a pleasant fragrance especially when fried with vegetables or used as a base for a sauce. Because olive oil burns at a lower temperature, so my house is not all smoky when I cook.

Hi Kelly, I had a question about woks.

I noticed you're using nonstick, but I heard carbon steel is the best wok because you can season it. What wok do you think is best?

[cookwithkelly]

@alborzka Yes I heard that carbon steel wok is the best for frying. However I still like nonstick better especially for cooking meat or something that requires slow cooking. If a dish requires 1 - 2 hours slow cooking, I don't have to stand in front of the wok stirring every 15 minutes like I would if using the carbon steel wok.
