The beef is chewy after frying because it was fried for too long.

Cumin-flavored stir-fried beef cubes

Ingredients: 400 grams of beef, appropriate amounts of cumin grains and cumin powder, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, a little cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of starch, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil , two or three stalks each of chives and coriander, 1 small handful of cooked sesame seeds, and appropriate amounts of oil and salt.

Specific methods:

1. As the saying goes: cut cattle and sheep horizontally and pigs vertically. Because the fiber of beef and mutton is very thick, when cutting beef and mutton, you need to use the knife to cut it, and the fiber is cut off so that it can be chewed; When stir-fried, it becomes minced meat. How to cut beef? This is the first point we need to pay attention to. Here, I cut the beef into larger pieces.

2. After the beef is cut, we need to marinate it with some ingredients to give it a good flavor. Add soy sauce and cooking wine, stir well, let the beef absorb these seasonings, remove the fishy smell, add color and enhance the flavor.

3. Since I am making cumin-flavored beef, in this step, I added cumin grains and cumin powder. Similarly, stir evenly to allow the beef grains to absorb the cumin. aroma.

4. The next step is the second point we want to talk about: use starch to mix the beef, or you can replace it with egg white, or both. This also makes the fried beef tender. important steps.

5. Grind the beef with starch and pour in sesame oil. Stir evenly again and let it sit for about ten minutes. We are done with the work before stir-frying. At the same time, wash and chop the chives and coriander for later use.

6. Heat oil in a hot pan, add marinated beef, and stir-fry quickly over high heat. Let me tell you, the beef I bought has been injected with water. The beef in the raw beef counter in our largest local supermarket has also been injected with water. Although this beef sells for less than 51 pounds, so, I No matter how you stir-fry beef, the beef will always release water. If you can buy beef without water injection, I'd be very envious. The beef you stir-fry with non-water-injected meat will taste great.

7. Stir-fry the beef until it changes color, add the chopped chives, and stir-fry quickly until the aroma is released.

8. Then add minced coriander, sprinkle in cooked sesame seeds, stir-fry quickly and then turn off the heat and remove from the pan.

9. The aroma of cumin and the special fragrance brought by chives and coriander make this home-cooked dish extremely rich in flavor. The beef cubes are tender and delicious, and you won’t let go of them without drying up two bowls of rice. Moreover, I also like to eat beef sandwiched in hot pancakes, then roll it up and stuff it into my mouth. Ouch, it tastes so good!

Tips:

1. Starch and egg white can make beef tender. Some people also use beer, but I don’t recommend it because of the tenderening effect of beer. Not as good as starch or egg white.

2. If you want to make toothpick beef, the method is the same as this recipe. The only difference is whether to cut the meat into strips or cubes and whether to use toothpicks to skewer it.

3. Do not separate cumin grains and cumin powder. Use both together for a richer flavor.
