• Shredded Beef Sauce

    By 22 commentsBeef Recipe, Sauce Recipes, , , , ,

    We put out a post asking our fans what posts they would like to see on the blog. We figured this would be the best way to satisfy our fans needs as opposed to just posting our experiments and food musings. I absolutely loved preparing this shredded beef sauce dish as it came very close to what we buy from Chinese restaurants. The only missing ingredient was raw MSG which i decided to stay away from because of the adverse health effects. If you cannot find shredded beef in the market, buy your beef and slice very thinly to achieve the same effect.

      I love ur meals, they r simply superb. I cant wait to try this sauce on fried rice thanks for posting them, but pls what is MSG?

        Hello Helen, Thanks for the kind words. MSG is mono sodium glutamate which is a type of seasoning but is known to be very harsh and some say causes cancer

      I love your blog and you are doin an awesome job. Please can you explain more on the soy sauce. I mean is it available in nigeria and if not can i prepare the sauce without it?

      • afrolems Reply

        Thank you. Soy sauce is available in Nigeria. Supermarkets have it but in the absence of it, maggi sauce can be a substitute but its not the same.

      Hello please can I use any other flour in place of corn flour? And must I add sugar as I really don’t like sugar in my meals

      • afrolems Reply

        Hello Inye, You can use normal flour but please make sure you dissolve in warm water first before adding to your sauce so it does not lump up. You don’t have to add sugar, its just how these recipes are created.

      Thanks for the recipe. I’ve found a lot of ur recipes helpful. For this shredded beef sauce, is the red wine a compulsory ingredient?
