Stew is my favourite comfort food and this one is no exception! Eat well, save money! Happy Sunday! 💕

[@ypliew07]

Will you do anything different if i have no pressure cooker and need to braise it over fire pls?

[@passionatemexxx]

Beef fingers is unheard of here in the heart of Northern California's Silicon Valley

[@paulaajohnson2597]

@passionatetrvler Obnoxious SiliValley hipsters who know nothing about food and can't cook wrecked all of the San Francisco Bay Area's popular-priced restaurants. Super-rich yuppies killed off the legendary upscale ones. SF eateries have been generally bad for years. The only foods this bunch eats on their massive salaries are pretentious, flavorless and a guaranteed ripoff.

[@gloriahohman2790]

This recipe looks amazing and delicious. Can't wait to try thank you so much for all your wonderful food ideas.

[@lucyhuff9708]

I’m definitely going to try it, seems very simple, the ingredients are easy to find. Thank you 😊

[@zackaryallam1396]

made this for dinner and absolutely love it! also the smell of the cinnamon and star anise filled my house which was a nice bonus.

[@jonesbub1]

The “hmmm” from Dude was the final seal of approval! This dish sure does look like it’s the picture to go along with the definition of “comfort food!” TFS, Sharon🤗🇺🇦

[@jblardi317]

Thanks for sharing this recipe. I just cooked it tonight for dinner, it’s so delicious! I substituted the Chu Hou paste with Char Sui sauce from one of your recipes instead of using oyster sauce as I originally planned to use. It still turned out so yummy. The finger meat was quite fatty, so I removed most of the fat before parboiling for 5 minutes. However, I might have to lessen the time to pressure cook it to 20-25 mins. next time because the meat and vegetables were a little too tender.

[@krahzeekat6164]

Watching this on Good Friday!! Can't wait to make this after Easter. Yummy

[@brucewayne3602]

I am starving, not the perfect time for this beyond delicious vid ... Thankyou Flo, must somehow quell my massive hunger !!!

Brilliant idea for the teabags! I just bought some which will illuminate half of my infusers for tea. Also, the idea of using them as a sort of Garni.

Hi Flo and all. Oh my my, Flo I love beef stew. Now I want some. 💝

[@Randy-qq8lr]

Popular dish today! 😁Was talking with a friend at church about making stew soon! Looks fantastic. Dude Approved 😀

[@lynnewh9226]

I made a close version of this tonight, as I didn’t have star anise, rice wine, or chu hou (they are now on my grocery list for round two). Used a bit of ground cinnamon, brown sugar rather than crystalized, hoisin & gf soy sauce, and it was still DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to try it with all the ingredients!

[@chengcolleen]

i tried this. It's good! thank u for the recipe.

Try using a prime Angus chuck pot roast! Cut it into chunks in the size you prefer. I NEVER buy cut up meat!

Hi Flo and Dude! Happy Sunday. I must admit that I've never heard of finger meat, I assume that it is beef.? I love using my pressure cooker, its like dump and go!! And everything is so tender and delicious. I look forward to trying this dish. I hope my butcher doesn't think I'm crazy when I ask about finger meat!! LOL!! 😁🐥🐰🌷

[@petitetreasures7000]

This seems very similar to the Beef Brisket with Daikon. How is the taste different please? Thanks for sharing your cooking.

[@irishpixierose]

Flo your stew looks delicious. I've never seen or heard of finger meat. It's rock sugar the same as rock candy at the Asian Market?

[@pigybak]

Yummy!!!

[@zacherycamhi5359]

Where to find chu hou paste...? Or what is a good substitute? Looks similar to korean chunjang or maybe japanese dark miso...? Delicious!

[@mallen6035]

Reminds me of Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup and Vietnamese Beef Stew both of which I Love. Will try this. Thank you 😊

[@denim4821]

30 minutes with a QPR in the instant pot is all you need for the boneless rib finger meat...no need to par boil, making it even quicker. Add meat then veg and top with sauce... I also only used 1/2 cup water, it was more than enough. 😋 very good

[@rhonda8231]

Is the instant pot an ancient Chinese secret too? Lol it does look delicious

[@legend-jf5fl]

Yummy

Is there a gluten-free version of chu hou sauce you can recommend? I really want to try this recipe.

[@graceplushie]

is there any substitute for chu hou sauce? other than hoisin, can doubanjiang works too ?

[@carolho142]

I miss eating stew. I grew up eating my mom's stew and I learned to cook the western way. I want to experiment using an instant pot versus a regular pot. Do you know how long each pot will take to cook this?

[@jaywhy2016]

"Ancient Chinese Secret" was from Calgon commercial from the late 70's to early 80's. It's on KZbin if anyone wants to watch it

[@FloLum]

Showing my age!

[@VictorG930]

Love your stew recipe , must confess the cut of meat you use is not what we get here , Jamaican butchers just cut up any which way and package it how they want 😊, difficult to get real “cuts” we would buy . Anyway I am going to give your recipe a try , stay healthy and safe , 🙏

[@leighd689]

making this right as I type I added onions I hope it doesn't ruin it I just love onions in my stew

[@shumi9688]

Can I ask if is okay for you can you list down all the ings on the descriptions box for easy to follow thanks and I really appreciate it I love to learn how cook..godbless

[@soaringkite2673]

Which Instant Pot are you using?

[@lilysiao1239]

Value and flavour, I liked what Dude said, also simple and no fuzz, I don’t I finger meat, I have digital muscle, wonder if that is a good replacement? I have daikon but out of potatoes, wonder if I can used daikon instead? Nevertheless I like the recipe 🥰yum!!!!

[@FloLum]

I do have a similar recipe using daikon on the channel. 😊

[@lilysiao1239]

Thank you !!!

[@AshlynKanuha]

That looks FABULOUS!!

[@jane9214]

Thanks for the recipe! I was wondering where do you usually get your finger meat in Van? I've noticed that TnT always sells finger meat pretty much on part to or more expensie to stew meat. It sits around $10/lb for me. Would this be the same for you?

[@lalalatube]

Pricesmart has frozen beef finger meat for $6.99/lb this week, check the flyer out :)

[@andrewdunn6793]

What is your position on MSG, do you use it!

[@crochetcat6107]

Stew looks great! Couple questions...can I add onions and can we use another protein? Chicken or pork?

[@FloLum]

I will say yes to the onions and you can always try pork or chicken!

[@crochetcat6107]

@@FloLum ok thanks! It's just that beef is $$$$ and chicken and pork less so. And I've never found the finger meat! My partner really wants to try it though

[@hardhang]

suggestion, add daikon aka chinese radish, it will soak up all the beef flavour

[@brandon3872]

This stew looks really tasty, but I'd strongly reccomend adding some garlic :)

Looks great like many of your recipes. What, no Sriracha....LOL Thanks

[@jsl1952]

seems to me it is the same as shank, I get it at t&t in metrotown, beats the packaged stew beef in the supermarkets, it is always dry even with lots of sauce.
