Vietnamese Beef Stew is PERFECT for Rainy Days!

Perfect for those cold cold wet days. You’ll love the flavours of this Vietnamese beef stew. Happy Sunday! 💕

I’m Vietnamese and I approve this recipe!! I made this and it turned out absolutely delicious!! I made a few adjustments - I sautéed the tomato paste with the lemongrass, cinnamon sticks, anise, and cloves. I also adapted from a different recipe by replacing the two out of four cups of beef broth with coconut water. The coconut water gave it a hint of sweetness. I enjoyed this recipe and your YouTube channel. First time making one of your recipes!

Your tip about freezing tablespoons of tomato paste was the best cooking tip ever! I do this with any thick consistency ingredient that I use only a small portion of like chili garlic sauce, hot sauces, etc. It’s such a waste to find an expired bottle of “whatever” after only using one or two tablespoons. Thanks for this tip!

Growing your own food to eat is the best!!

My husband loves ordering this from Vietnamese restaurants. Going to give this a try this week. Thanks for the recipe. You can regrow the ends of lemongrass by sticking them in water until roots grow. Then plant in your garden.

Great meal. Keep those winter meals coming. Flo you're a great comfort food cook.

I am glad you like this dish, and it’s also one of my favorites. My sister-in-law cooks this dish pretty well too, and she sometimes uses curry as the main spice. She also add a little bit of hoisin sauce when marinating the beef. You can also add dried tangerine peel to flavor it up more ;)

I think you both have a winning formula for a YouTube cooking channel - definitely a million subscribers in your future! You are both very likable and I think Dude coming in at the end to eat is a big win!!!

Man Flo that looks so good. I wish I could grow my own fruits and vegetables, there is a big difference.

Sounds like a nice addition to fall/winter cooking. Yumm

My fiancé and I saw this video the day it was posted and knew we had to make it for dinner the same week. Couldn't find beef fingers but we did substitute stew beef as suggested. Followed the rest of the recipe and everything came out perfectly. We like a little oyster sauce and siracha with these kinds of noodle dishes and they paired very well! We'll definitely be making this again and next time will use some cheesecloth and a bit of twine to make a sachet for all the aromatics to make fishing them out a bit easier, but we'll keep the recipe the same. Thanks, Flo and Dude! We love what you do!

I used to watch you pre-pandemic. Incredible how far you guys have come!

Flo - I'm from Vancouver and I also graduated from UBC. I moved to Bellevue WA about 12 years ago. Watching you talk and cook reminds me of home. I've tried a few of your recipes and they are delicious. Thank you for the videos!

Good day, what a yummy recipe that is for the pressure cooker, yeah! I did the spaghetti and it was yummy. Easy peasy is good 👍👍👍, have a blessed day.

I love watching your recipes. I’m a believer to so I appreciate your munistry.

Dear Flo, your husband is very lucky. He can eat various foods which you cook.

This looks great and i have to say your tomatoe paste trick is genius for sure as i will do the same from now on.

It was so pleasurable to hangout with you guys. I learned a lot. Thank you & God bless ❤️

Another delicious looking recipe, thanks. It's not really cold enough here yet but we were yearning for some beef stew last night and my wife whipped up a great batch but I like some of your additions and we'll try that next time. Good job!

This is so mouth-watering! 😱😍😍
