When cooking beef and other hard meats and game, adding vinegar can soften them.
Some people think that "beef stew is delicious but not easy to cook". In fact, it is not difficult. Someone summed it up as: "Choose meat wider than soup, and put less salt in yellow sauce;" How many ingredients are put together, the meat is fragrant and rotten. "
Choose meat: Most people always like to buy some parts with bright red shredded pork for beef stew. In fact, this direction is more suitable for cooking. If it is used for stewing, its meat quality will be more compact. There are many parts of beef suitable for stewing, such as tendon, waist, bow, chest and external ridge, which account for about 70% of the whole beef. These parts have muscle and skin, fat and thin. On the surface, they look a little ugly and are not popular with customers. However, as long as it is done properly, the meat will be thick, delicious and delicious after maturity. After selecting the meat, wash the whole piece first to remove the floating dirt on the surface; After washing, cut into walnut pieces, soak them in clean water for about half an hour, remove dirty blood impurities and take them out for later use, but don't tie the meat tightly with hot water or boiling water, otherwise the meat will get old and difficult to stew.
Stir the soup: add enough warm water to the pot (whichever is not meat, the pot type is not limited), add a proper amount of yellow sauce, commonly known as "base" (500g meat, 50g sauce is enough), and stir with chopsticks. At this time, the sauce residue sinks to the bottom and the sauce foam floats. Remove the foam from the residue with a sieve to ensure that the broth is colored and not mixed. You can't use soy sauce in soup, because soy sauce contains a bitter sugar color. Adding it to the soup will make the broth slightly bitter, and the stew will taste much worse. The amount of soup should be filled at one time, not halfway. If the soup is not enough, you can only heat the water or boiled water, and don't add cold water halfway. Otherwise, when the cooked meat meets cold water, it is easy to make the surface of the meat shrink and tighten, and the heat is not easy to spread inward. Meat will become hard and hard, and it is not easy to chew and swallow. Add some salt after the soup is mixed.
Feeding: put the cut and washed beef into the pot, and then add the seasoning. General ingredients are clove, cinnamon, sweet licorice, pepper, aniseed and fennel; Or pepper, fennel and cinnamon. No matter what ingredients are used, onions, ginger and garlic are essential. You can also add some orange peel. Based on 2.5 Jin of meat, the amount of seasoning can be 20 pieces of pepper, 4-5 pieces of aniseed, 3-4 pieces of cinnamon, 3-4 pieces of onion, 1 piece of ginger (do not cut) and 4-5 pieces of garlic. Put these ingredients into the pot together, and put pepper, aniseed and cinnamon into gauze bags, which can be used for 2 ~ 3 times.
Temperature: cover the lid when the ingredients are put into the pot, and stew the pot when it is wide open, so that the bloody smell will evaporate. After 20 minutes, cover again and turn to slow fire. Stew for about 3 hours. The beef is rotten, the soup is delicious and fragrant. The effect of stewing beef in pressure cooker is good, as long as the heat is well controlled. That is, after the fire boils, deflate for 5 minutes, close the safety valve, change it to medium fire after 20 minutes, and wait for another 20 minutes.
PS:
1. Boil old beef. If you buy a lot of beef, you can spread a layer of dried mustard on the beef on the first day of cooking and rinse the meat before cooking. The beef treated in this way is not only easy to cook, but also fresh and tender. Add some wine or vinegar when cooking, and it will cook faster.
2. When cooking beef, sew a gauze bag first, put a small amount of vegetable leaves, tie the bag tightly, and put it in the pot to stew with beef, so that the beef is cooked quickly and tastes fragrant.
3. When cooking cattle (sheep), put two or three walnuts with shells or a few hawthorn, which not only cooks quickly, but also tastes bad.
4. When braised beef, add a small amount of wild vegetables to make the meat delicious.

If there is a pressure cooker, pour everything into the pressure cooker. According to my experience, after steaming on the stove and stewing for 15-20 minutes, the beef will definitely go bad.
5. After the beef is stewed, when the pressure cooker is angry, add the vegetables you want to match (potatoes and the like, but personally, stewed white radish tastes better).

Grilled Beef with Cumin
Slice the beef (pay attention to the horizontal stripes when cutting the beef), add salt/monosodium glutamate/cooking wine/pepper/egg white/water starch, and add a little salad oil to catch it thoroughly. (it is best to put it for a while; If you have tender meat powder/spiced powder, you can put some), onion/green pepper slices, coriander slices.
Add a little oil to the pot, stir-fry ginger and onion until fragrant, then add beef to disperse, add onion and green pepper to stir-fry constantly, then sprinkle pepper noodles/Chili noodles/cumin powder, and sprinkle coriander to stir well. Serve.

Beef jerky
Dice the beef and blanch it with boiling water first. Because I don't use a pressure cooker, it takes a long time to cook. Switch to freshly boiled beef. Add salt, onion, garlic, star anise and other seasonings.
Wait until it is almost cooked, then take out the beef. Don't throw these soups away, make another beef persimmon soup.
Then change the wine, there is no strict requirement for wine, red wine will do. Just keep cooking and cooking until the beef is rotten and the wine smells in.
Boil the wine until it dries. At this time, take out the beef jerky and bake it in the microwave for a few minutes. This is to remove water from beef, but be careful not to burn it.
If you use a pressure cooker in this step, it will be much easier. Just cook the beef and cook it with wine. There is no need to cook it in water before cooking it in wine. Then put the beef in a pan without oil, and add curry powder to fry. Pay attention to curry powder because it is salty.
In addition: because wine is also sweet, it is recommended to put less or no sugar when cooking beef.

The fire will boil the pot, and the fire will simmer slowly. Always watch the ignition for about 1~ 1.5 hours. Don't let the fire catch fire, and remember not to drain!
