👨‍🍳 조리법

1
Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
💡 전문가 팁: Ensure the pot is well-heated before adding the beef.
2
Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides. Remove beef from the pot and set aside.
3
Add sliced onions to the pot and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
💡 전문가 팁: Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
4
Add minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5
Return the seared beef to the pot. Add coconut milk, beef broth, soy sauce, salt, and pepper.
💡 전문가 팁: Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 2 to 2.5 hours, or until the beef is very tender.
💡 전문가 팁: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a little more beef broth or water.
7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
