Steps
-
Prepare the main ingredients. I personally like meat that is both fat and lean. It depends on your preference. The side dishes of cucumber and lettuce leaves can be replaced with vegetables you like, but celery and garlic sprouts are necessary for their fragrance.
-
Spices: Prepare more ginger and garlic, and the peppercorns must be numb. You can also use peppercorn noodles.
-
Slice the beef, season it with salt first, add the flour and mix more. The longer the mixing time, the better. (I forgot to take pictures of this step😬)
-
Cut the vegetables. When cutting garlic sprouts, use a knife to smash the garlic sprouts to make them easier to cook.
-
Slice ginger and garlic, heat oil over high heat, add ginger and garlic. Then add the vegetables. Add salt and chicken essence
-
When frying, put the vegetables that are not easy to cook in the pan first, and then add the vegetables that are easy to cook when they are almost done. . . After frying, put it into the basin where you want to put the boiled beef.
-
Put oil in the pot. After the oil is hot, add Pixian bean paste, (chopped green onions, ginger, and garlic are added), dried Chinese peppercorns, stir-fried fruits, and a thumb-sized amount of white sugar over low heat. Stir-fry a little more, being careful not to burn it. Pour in the water and simmer the soup for a while to bring out the flavor of these spices.
-
When the soup is almost done, add the meat and cook until the meat is cooked. Don't cook it for too long to avoid overcooking the meat. Then add salt and chicken essence and cook. Add on top of the freshly fried vegetables!
-
Place chili noodles, dried chili peppers (cut into small sections), and dried Sichuan peppercorns in order on top of the meat. Heat oil in a pot. The oil temperature must be high. Then pour the oil on top of the chili peppers. The oil should be hot enough to scald the dried chili peppers until they become mushy, but not too mushy. Let me tell you an important point here: whether the color of your boiled beef looks good depends on the color of the chili noodles, so when buying chili noodles, be sure to choose red chili noodles, but don’t choose the chili noodles with added pigments.

Finally, sprinkle some chopped green onion for decoration
