Therefore, the cooking of beef has a different flavor, especially many beef dishes, which are made fine and delicious, better than some beef dishes in pastoral areas. If you don't believe me, please read it slowly. I sorted out 9 beef dishes in Yunnan, in order to provide dinner for everyone, or in no particular order.
Sea cucumber niutou
This sea cucumber is a cow's head, saying sea cucumber, but not sea cucumber; It's a cow's head, which looks like a sea cucumber. This is the beauty of the sea cucumber bull's head. This is Cui Chengchao, a state banquet chef in Yunnan, one of the most famous three-headed dishes (fish head in casserole, pig head tied with pork, sea cucumber and cow head) in his life.
This dish is made of ham, ham tube bone, fat meat, fresh tube bone and Chinese cabbage, and the cow head is peeled, cooked and cut into pieces. The flavor of sea cucumber is hung in the soup, which is enhanced by the flavor, modeled under a pseudonym, and the taste of beef and vegetables is absolutely exquisite. All the heads of state who have tasted it are all amazed!
Red button ox nose
This is one of the three top halal dishes in Yunnan (Zhuangliang Chicken, Steamed Meat with Lotus Leaf Powder, and Beef Nose with Red Button). There used to be an old saying: "Bears are beautiful because of their palms, and cows are precious because of their noses". Bear's paw can't be eaten now, but the cow's nose is a special part of the cow that ordinary people don't pay attention to, but it has been cooked by Muslim chefs in Yunnan and has become a unique Yunnan cuisine.
Blanch the cow nose with boiling water to remove dirt such as cow nose hair, boil it in a pottery pot with high fire, remove floating foam, stew it with low fire until it is 90% ripe, take it out, add scallops and mushrooms, and stew it in soup. Slice the beef nose with honey and fry it in the oil pan until golden brown. Add scallop and mushroom juice and steam it for 3 hours, then take it out. Add salt and seasoning to the wok and thicken it into juice and pour it on the nose of the cow. Sprinkle coriander next to the plate and garnish with vegetables.
Steam pot bullwhip
This is a famous dish in Yunnan Steam Pot Banquet, which has the effect of warming yang and tonifying kidney. But I think exercise is the most important thing. The selection of materials and the initial processing of this dish are very strict. We choose a strong yellow bullwhip, cut it open with a sharp knife, blanch it in a boiling water pot, take it out and put it in clear water, tear off the envelope in the urethra, clean it repeatedly, cut off the leftover materials and fascia that can't be cut, cut the bullwhip into sections of six or seven centimeters long, then cut it into sections with a horizontal knife (but not cut off), boil it in boiling water, and see it roll over.
cold slices of beef
Cold beef slices are the traditional dishes of Yunnan Hui people. It is often seen in beef restaurants in Zhaotong and Kunming. In the beef section of "Kunming Cuisine", Wang Zengqi recounted various methods of Kunming beef, such as cold slices, soup slices, braise in soy sauce and dry bar, and wrote in the first sentence with deep affection: "I have never eaten as good beef as Kunming in my life."
Yunnan beef cold slices are very time-consuming to make, and the selection of materials is also very particular. The best choice of ingredients is Yunnan Xundian local yellow cattle with a growth period of five to six years. The cutting of beef is also very particular, and it should be cut horizontally, so that beef can be cut into complete slices with the best taste. There are three kinds of dipping materials for eating beef cold slices, sesame peanut butter, salt and pepper, and spicy dipping water, which can be selected according to personal preferences.
Stone pot beef huicui
This is a main course of Pu 'er Jiangcheng Yellow Cattle Banquet. Jiangcheng Yellow Cattle has high protein, low fat, delicious meat and high nutritional value. This main course is made of stone pot as the main cooking utensil, and different parts of Jiangcheng yellow beef, such as brisket, beef offal and oxtail, are gathered together by different cooking methods, so it is called "beef gathering." Among them, beef is made into garlic flavor, beef brisket is made into braised flavor, beef offal is made into hot and sour flavor, and oxtail is made into spicy flavor, which is a very distinctive national diet.
Denqen yak hotpot
Zhongdian yak in Diqing is one of China 12 yak populations, which is a unique yak breed in Yunnan. Because of its perennial life in the area above 3500 meters above sea level, Diqing yak grows many wild medicinal materials such as Fritillaria, Cordyceps, etc. Yaks often eat these medicinal materials, which makes Diqing yak meat delicious. The hot pot made from it is even more delicious. Just the taste of the ingredients is enough to make Yunnan people proud.
Yak hot pot is the best in Yunnan hot pot. The soup is fresh, the meat is tender and delicious. It is a must-eat food in winter. The copper pot is full of large pieces of yak meat, and it is stewed until it is crisp and rotten. The meat is connected with the skin and the skin is connected with the tendons, and the aftertaste is long! Add chopped pepper and sauce, and have a warm bite in the cold winter. It's perfect!
Cattle skimming
In recent years, beef steak is a delicious dish that has spread very well on the Internet, and it is a delicacy with unique ethnic characteristics in Yunnan. Buffalo skimming gives foreigners a very amazing feeling. They always think that the food in the next three roads is incredible. In fact, after living in Yunnan for a long time, they know that the taste that Yunnan people are looking for is a primitive, wild and warm taste.
However, few people know that beef steak is still a regular dish in Cangyuan Wa Wang Banquet. After all, if you want to eat authentic beef, you have to kill a cow. It is not a big banquet. If most people want to eat it, it is really unbearable.
Nanhong beef
Baoshan's beef practice is very famous, and the roast beef is very delicious. But I want to introduce another delicious beef in Baoshan. Nanhong beef is the main course of the banquet in Baoshan Yongchang House, which was the ancient name of Baoshan during Nanzhao and Dali periods. "Nanhong" refers to the agate in Baoshan, which was called "Nanhong" in ancient times and is one of the seven treasures of ancient temples. Nanhong beef means that beef is cooked, which is as auspicious as agate.
The Nanhong beef in Yongchang Mansion is made of high-quality beef from Baoshan, dyed with carrot juice, pumpkin juice and saffron, simmered for 4 hours, then steamed in a steamer for 2 hours, and then mixed with juice to thicken it into a dish. The meat color of South Red Bull is like South Red Agate, and the meat is fresh, tender and mellow, which is very delicious.
Niuganba
Finally, I must talk about the dry beef in Yunnan. Dried beef is the most distinctive food in Yunnan, which can be used as a snack or a big dish. It can often be seen in ethnic banquets in Yunnan, such as Yak Dried Beef in Tibetan King's Banquet, Weishan Dried Beef in Dali Tianlong Babu Banquet, Yulong Snow Mountain Dried Beef in Lijiang Sandie Water Banquet and so on.
Although it's just an ordinary preserved beef product, only dried beef in Yunnan is so delicious. This is closely related to the unique climate temperature, air humidity and ultraviolet intensity in Yunnan, and it is really impossible to make such a mellow taste elsewhere. If friends come to Yunnan to travel, they can give it a try.
It can be seen from these nine delicious dishes of Yunnan beef. Compared with the beef dishes in Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia and Qinghai, the beef dishes in Yunnan are more elaborate and the cooking methods are more ethnic. Every big dish is full of color, fragrance, taste, art, shape and taste. Moreover, Yunnan has more abundant ingredients and more patterns of side dishes. Humanism and history are stronger.
