Chao Tai Beef

Last updated 2026-11-14 — Chaozhou beef is a unique highlight in Shenzhen’s culinary scene, attracting food lovers from all over. Chaozhou beef has been a staple in Shenzhen for many years. The all-beef broth, simmered in large pots for dozens of hours, is a nutritious soup that captures the essence of the cow. The beef shank is tender, the beef brisket is smooth, the beef heart is crispy, the beef tripe slices are refreshing, the beef tendons are glutinous, and the beef balls are delightfully springy. Then there’s the hotpot with fresh vegetables — biting into them as you sip the rich, flavorful broth, you’ll discover an incredibly delicious taste. The beef flavor seeps into the radish, dried tofu skin, lettuce, and fried tofu puffs, while the freshness of the vegetables blends into the beef broth. The interplay of flavors between the meat and vegetable dishes makes the beef even more aromatic and the vegetables even more refreshing. This thick, hearty soup, concentrated through repeated slow-cooking with beef, beef offal, and vegetables, has reached a level of perfection — drinking it is truly a sublime experience.
