This Cantonese beef stew is inspired by the lamb stew that I had a couple of years ago in Hong Kong. Whenever it’s winter time or the weather is cold, lamb stew is a popular dish for the denizens in Hong Kong as lamb is a “heaty” meat and the clay pot stew complement it to give warmth to the body. As I am not a big fan of lamb, I made the stew with beef and the result is equally delectable.

Believe or not, it’s already September and in no time, weather is going to cool down so this Cantonese beef stew recipe will come in handy if you wish to try it out. The recipe is in metric measurement, to convert, please use the conversion tool.

Korean Spicy Chicken Stew
Whenever I shop at Korean grocery stores, I love checking out the marinated meats section where buckets of pre-marinated meats are ready for sale. Other than the regular kalbi or beef short ribs for Korean BBQ, there is always a bucket of marinated chicken meat labeled as chicken stew. I always buy the chicken stew and make it at home but it…

Cantonese Fried Noodles (Pork Chow Mein)
Hong Kong is one of my favorite places in the world. Since my first visit with my family when I was 18-year old, I have fallen in love with the exquisite Cantonese cuisine. And when I first stumbled upon Taste Hong Kong, a website about Cantonese/Chinese recipes, I become an instant fan. Taste Hong Kong is a great food blog…

Ginger and Scallion Beef (姜葱牛肉)
A fellow Malaysian at Ohio Wagyu sent me some of his farm-raised wagyu beef. He flew the beef overnight to me, and when I received them, they were still ice cold and frozen. My favorite of all was the flank steak, which I used to make the ponzu and miso butter steak, and the leftover, I made them into Chinese…

it looks very yammy… i’ll definately try this soon… ^_^
May I ask which beef part did you use…brisket?
I’d also love to know which part of beef to use please. Thanks!
You can use boneless beef short ribs.
Ir is pouring rain right now over here and this warming stew would surely be welcome!
How much shallots to add? Thanks!
Hi Lydia, it was a typo, I meant to say onion. Sorry.
Congratulations on your book release and also for securing Insing.com as your client. I love stews and will definitely make it soon. Would like it more soupy and thick as well. Looks super delicious.
This beef stew looks so inviting. I know you rarely feature beef so for you to feature it, the flavors must be totally amazing! I will try this at home. Thank you too for the package of Singaporean goodies which arrived over the weekend. Such great taste in easy to prepare packets! I never knew Singaporean food was that good! We’re so impressed with the delicious curries, coffee and bakuteh! A big thank you, Bee!
congrats on your book!!!
Hi, long time follower of your blog! Can’t wait to try this but I was wondering if this would work without wine as I’m alergic to alcohol?
Yes, it’s fine!
This looks really good! Can never have too many ways to cook beef stew! Part of me wonders if it might convert well to a slow-cooker recipe, as I don’t have a clay pot (yet).
I enjoy your recipes congrats on your new cookbook looking forward to buying it.
Hi Bee,
If I don’t have a claypot, could I use a regular pot or maybe a slow cooker instead? Thanks!
I did it for our weekly homeless feed and they loved it! I had to use a large (35 quart) pressure cooker, and made 3 batches. I used a 7bone cut of beef because it has 3 main muscles in it. Spencer, Tenderloin, and a small tail of marbled muscle that is good for stew flavor. If you re-cut the $18.50 roast, you still have stew meat, and about $40.00 worth of boneless steaks. Just one of those weird tricks of saving money.
This looks and sounds wonderful…I will defiantly be trying it!
Oh, this looks delicious! I love Asian cuisine and your recipe gives some new inspiration, thanks. Reminds me of some exciting and “very delicious days” I had in Hong Kong.
This is perfect for fall! So hearty and comforting. I just love it.
Hi. I am really impressed by your accomplishment. I hope my blog can developed into yours. Here’s my address: weekendkitchenette.blogspot.com
I hope to get some advice from you on how to get it bloom!
This looks perfect…
Wonderful for fall.. so warm and comfy…

I live in a small town and have not seen brisket or short rib beef in the grocery store. Would top sirloin be a good substitute? Thanks
Sure, just stew longer.
Need to find my claypotlar. It seems to have gone missing after the house renovations :)
I tried this recipe yesterday using a normal pot (since I don’t have a claypot) and it turned out quite yummy! I ended up substituting the dried tofu with fresh tofu chunks, and added a little cornflour to make the sauce a bit thicker. I love how it’s a simple one-pot meal :)
I made this dish a week ago for my family and they enjoyed it very much. Since I was pressed for time, I opted to use the flap steak strips from costco. The meat cooks quick and is tender. It was so good … no leftovers. The taste and aroma of this dish brought back many childhood memories for all of us. Thanks Bee.
I made this for lunch today — and it was very tasty — and more importantly so glad my hubby approves so definitely another keeper! Used chuck roast (pot roast) beef cut in small pieces. Found the weird dried tofu sticks at the Vietnamese store (alongside the dried mushrooms) and I was anxious about what it taste like –it was a pleasant experience to discover its unique taste and texture so unlike regular tofu (kinda tangy, soft, chewy — took me 45 minutes to soften them in warm water prior to cooking). Thanks for introducing me to clay pot cooking I love it!
may l know..please. how if l used the lamb to cook the stew .. is it used the same ingrendients
or defrent ?
