How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- Good beef has a bright red color, fine, smooth texture, and the fat layer is a pale yellow and slightly firm.
- Choose pieces of meat that have a certain elasticity when pressed by hand, with no unpleasant odor or leaking juices.
- Avoid buying pieces of beef that are dark red, have large fibers, and a deep yellow fat layer. This indicates meat from older cows, which will be tough when cooked and not tasty.
How to choose fresh and delicious carrots
- Good carrots are those with a moderate size (not too big and not too small), with a smooth and shiny skin. When held, they feel firm and heavy.
- It is best to choose carrots that have a natural orange color, with green tops that are still fresh and firmly attached to the body of the carrot.
- Avoid buying carrots that have unusual shapes, with bruised tops or bodies, wilting, or showing dark spots; if pressed, they should not sink in.

How to prepare Beef stew with carrots

Prepare the beef
Wash the beef you bought with clean water and let it drain. Once the beef is drained, use a knife to cut it into square pieces that are about the size of two finger joints.
Tip:- To remove the odor from the beef, use roasted ginger that has been mashed and rub it over the surface of the beef, then rinse it with clean water.
- Additionally, to maintain the natural aroma of the beef, you should wipe the piece of beef with a damp cloth once before marinating.
