How do you make diced beef with eggplant?

Which cut of beef is best for diced beef with eggplant?

Should you salt eggplant before making diced beef with eggplant?
No, salting eggplant before making diced beef with eggplant is optional, not essential. Modern eggplant is often mild; if you salt it to draw out moisture, rinse it and pat it dry so it does not add excess salt or water to the stew.
Do you peel the eggplant for diced beef with eggplant?
