Spicy Beef Stew taken by peachpurple
Beef stew , one of the meat recipe that I had not cooked for
quite some time.
In the past, I had tried a curry beef recipe when I had
attended my classmate’s wedding dinner.
I could still remember the spicy , delicious meal that do not
give any strong beef odor at all.
Fortunately, I managed to request my friend to share with
me her secret on how to remove the strong beef odor which
I had failed.
She told me that in order to remove the strong beef odor,
you need to wash thoroughly and boil the beef in water mix
with cinnamon and salt.
I asked her why?
She doesn’t know either.
Her mom taught her to do so and she did.
Hence, she gave me this Spicy Beef Stew recipe and
guaranteed me that I would enjoy this beef stew as much as
chicken stew. It certainly did.
