Braised beef stew

Overview

I am a new mother born in 1985. Because I married from Hunan to the Northeast, and because of the differences in living habits, I started to learn cooking by myself. I was a novice before, but now I can make some simple home-cooked dishes, all thanks to the recipes I learned online. Now that I have become a mother, I have more responsibilities. I hope my children can eat well, my husband can eat well, and I hope they can feel the warmth of home when they eat. I learned this dish from my chef uncle. This dish is rich, spicy, has a good taste, and is very nutritious. The method is also very simple, and you can make a big dish without any cooking skills. Beef is rich in high-quality protein. This dish is best made with beef brisket, which tastes chewy and has a better texture

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash the beef you bought and cut it into cubes, whatever size you want.

   

2. 2 Use a pot to boil water. After the water boils, put the beef in and blanch it. Then add a little cooking wine to remove the fishy smell. When the foam comes out of the beef, take it out and drain it under cold water. Drain and set aside. At this time, you can prepare the above-mentioned seasonings such as onions, ginger, garlic, and peppercorns.

   

3. 3 The seasoning is determined based on the usual amount of cooking and the amount of beef. After preparing the seasoning, start stir-frying the beef. The beef water should be almost drained by now

   

4. 4 Put oil in the pot, slowly stir-fry the cinnamon aniseed, peppercorns, bay leaves, and herbs at home over low heat. Then add onions, ginger, garlic, and dried chili peppers and continue to stir-fry over low heat until the aroma is released.

   

5. 5 Turn on medium-high heat and stir-fry the beef brisket. Be sure to stir-fry slowly until the beef is fragrant.

   

6. 6 Put the beef aside, add bean paste and chopped pepper, and stir-fry. You can also add chili sauce or Laoganma. After slowly stir-frying over low heat, turn the beef over and stir-fry evenly. Add cooking wine. If you like a darker color, add some soy sauce or dark soy sauce, then light soy sauce, and steamed fish soy sauce. This steamed fish soy sauce can be added to general stir-fried meat dishes as I learned from my uncle. It tastes better. You can add some five-spice powder or thirteen spices.

   

7. 7 It feels like it is almost fried and the aroma has come out. At this time, you can add water to stew. Don't use too much water, just enough to cover the beef. Boil the water over high heat first, then turn to low heat and simmer slowly. It usually takes one to two hours, depending on your personal taste. , some like it to be chewy, so stew it for less time, and if you like it to be soft, stew it for more time. When stewing it, you almost have to pay for the salt, because there is salt in the bean paste before, so add some salt as appropriate, and just add some chicken essence and coriander before taking it out of the pot. I forgot to take a picture of the finished product, sorry. It’s delicious when made.
