Got some tough beef cuts on your hand? Use them in chinese beef soup recipes.
Tough beef cuts are ideal for making chinese beef soups which often require long hours of simmering. Cuts like brisket, plate, skirt, chuck, flank, shank and shin can be simmered until really soft and tender like it is going to melt in your mouth.

Beef is high in protein and low in fat. It consists of many different types of amino acids which is good for building immunity, promoting healthy growth and aiding recuperation.
It is also good for people who are weak and prone to fatigue, especially those who have just recovered from a major illness or are suffering from anaemia. However, for normal healthy people, beef should be consumed in moderation. Once a week should be just right.
It considered a warm food and therefore very suitable for the winter season.
Beef is very popular meat in China, second only to pork. Especially in Northern China where the winters tend to be longer and colder.
