Beef and Eggplant Stew

Today I bought some beef from the market and planned to make beef stewed with eggplant. So I will share the method with you:

Beef and Eggplant Stew Introduction

Recently, I have been working hard to consume the black beans that Lao Mao bought by mistake. I always think that black bean sauce is very fragrant when cooking, but the black bean grains have a strong taste, and even make people feel a strange taste. Looking at the half can of black bean left in the refrigerator, I racked my brains to think of a recipe, and the more I thought, the more headache I had. Thinking of my favorite eggplant pot, I have always used garlic black bean sauce to make it. Now I change to whole black beans to see if it will make me eat crazy. After making it, the result is positive. Especially in the current slightly cool weather, this kind of clay pot dish really makes me crazy. A netizen who studies psychology once told me that people who love to eat eggplant have a subconscious tendency to overeat. I go crazy when I see eggplant pot, no matter what ingredients are used to match it. According to this statement, I am 100% a bulimic patient - the kind that has not yet had an attack. Now I can eat until I am full even when there is no attack, so what should I do when I have an attack?!

4. Heat the casserole, add the fermented black beans and stir-fry the bell peppers, then add the eggplant, dark soy sauce, spicy bean paste, Shaoxing wine, sugar, and pepper. 5. Cover and simmer until the eggplant strips are well-seasoned, then add the minced beef and a small amount of sesame oil.

Tips for beef stew with eggplant strips

1. The beef can be minced in a blender or you can buy pre-minced beef patties in the supermarket.

2. The eggplant should not be cut too small because it will become smaller after frying; the frying time should not be too long, otherwise the eggplant will easily rot during the stewing process and will not look good.

3. If you are too lazy to stir-fry beef, you can just pour the minced beef into the eggplant and stew them together at the end.
