Tomato Braised Beef Brisket

Prepare the beef brisket and wash it thoroughly in cold water.

Keep the water after skimming off the blood foam for braising; you can discard it if you prefer.

Drain excess water.

Prepare the seasonings.

Heat the pan and add oil.

The sugar is starting to bubble.

Stir-fry until the beef is nicely colored.

Ensure each piece of meat is evenly coated.

Add the seasonings at this point, making sure to include some cooking wine while stir-frying.

Stir-fry until the water evaporates and you can smell the fragrance.

Pour the water used to blanch the meat into a clay pot and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

Pour the caramelized beef into the clay pot.

Add some boiling water if there isn't enough liquid.

Prepare the side ingredients.

Stir-fry the carrots for 2 minutes to release their nutrients.

Add the tomatoes and continue to stir-fry.

Finally, add the star ingredient—tomatoes.

Continue to stir-fry until the tomatoes soften and release their juice, separating skin from flesh.

After braising the beef brisket for about 40 minutes, add the stir-fried carrots, tomatoes, and onions. Continue to simmer on low heat for 50 minutes, adjusting salt according to the broth's taste. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes...

It's ready to serve! The beef brisket is flavorful and tender, and the broth is fantastic!
