Braised beef

Overview

I don’t know why I’ve been craving braised beef recently. It’s hard for restaurants to have such dishes, let alone authentic ones. I just recently changed my place to live. I’ve sorted it out and found a new place to buy backgrounds for photos and stuff. It’s too tiring, and the lighting is just right. Fortunately, I can do it. It feels like I haven’t written a recipe for a long time, and I feel embarrassed to see you. Today is finally done, so I hurriedly sorted it out. Haha, I used the balcony of my new home to grow vegetables and flowers. I just finished preparing the soil, and the tomato and cucumber seedlings I bought arrived. After writing this, I went to pick up the seedlings by courier. Wait for me to post pictures

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare a good piece of beef tendon, [preferably tendon core with rich fascia, which seems to be called money tendon, because it is the best choice regardless of the texture or texture after being sliced, but the price will be slightly higher] Soak it in cold water until the water is clear, remember to change the water halfway

   

2. 2 If you buy the beef in large pieces, cut it in half and don't cut it too small. The beef will shrink after cooking and the most important thing is to clean and cut the beef sections, put them in a plastic bag and put them in the freezer of the refrigerator! The handsome guy who sells meat in the freezer told me about it for about an hour. I often go to him to buy all kinds of meat. Every time I say he wants the best-looking meat, he will write a score for me. He said that the beef sliced this way will not fall apart when sliced, and the meat will be tighter. Now let’s slowly prepare the other ingredients.

   

3. 3 I didn’t peel the garlic, just clean it. I divided it into several pieces. You can also peel and slice the whole garlic

   

4. 4 Cut green onions into small pieces

   

5. 5 Prepare some home-cooked spices. People who often cook can prepare some at home. These are necessary all year round at the vegetable market. If you don’t know how to buy them at the vegetable market, you can add them. I will tell you to buy them online. Here are: cloves, cinnamon, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, grasshopper

   

6. 6 Prepare a larger cooking pot. Add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oil, cooking wine, appropriate amount of water, all spices, onions, ginger, garlic, and a few rock sugars into the soup pot [all soup ingredients must cover the beef]

   

7. 7 Add the frozen beef cubes, bring to a boil over high heat, and put some dried chili peppers in the middle, because I like spicy food

   

8. 8 Because the water has not been blanched, there will be some blood foam gradually during cooking, so use a spoon to slowly skim it all off. It is easy to overflow the pot at the beginning of cooking. Do not leave the back and turn the heat to medium-low. Just keep boiling and it will be ok. You can flip it in the middle and taste it to see what is missing. Personally, I think the saltiness is a little bit so that the taste in the middle is just right. If you like to dip it in the sauce, it doesn't matter. There is saltiness in the juice

   

9. 9 I haven’t looked at the specific time, but it’s about an hour or so. You can use chopsticks to insert it smoothly and turn off the heat. Anyway, I like it chewy. My family also turns off the heat and continues to simmer to let the flavor penetrate more. If there is a lot of braised food, you can put it in the refrigerator and just take it out and slice it when eating

   

10. 10 Cut into evenly thin slices

    

11. 11 Now let’s start preparing the dipping sauce. You can actually follow your own personal taste: add spicy millet, minced ginger, garlic, and scallions, and you can also add a little coriander

    

12. 12 Add a little cold soy sauce, steamed fish soy sauce, a little balsamic vinegar, chili red oil, salt, sugar and chicken powder

    

13. 13 Sorry, I couldn’t help but come together when taking pictures, it’s so perfect

    

14. 14 Personally, I think this is a must-have recipe for entertaining guests. It’s not difficult to make and looks very high-end. You just need to prepare it in advance and just slice it

    

15. 15 On this hot summer day, you know how it feels to have a plate of braised beef, a glass of cold beer and a favorite movie
