    Step 2

    Start by boiling beef in cold water. Keep an eye on it in the kitchen, bring it to a boil over high heat, and carefully skim off the foam, leaving a pot of clean beef broth. Imagine if someone were lazy and didn't skim off the foam—how could anyone eat that? If someone else is cooking it, you don't know the process; how clean is it? If you don't know, eat vegetarian! Vegetarian food is safer! So why not cook it yourself and eat something clean and worry-free?

    Prepare the seasonings and add them to the pot together. Adding tea leaves and hawthorn slices helps the beef cook until tender. Keep the hawthorn slices refrigerated, and use Tieguanyin tea leaves this time.
