Why is beef soup with meat flavor the original appearance of Sichuan cuisine? There are three reasons.
First of all, Sichuanese don't have a long history of eating peppers. For more than 200 years, Sichuanese still learn from others. According to historical records, the first people who ate Chili peppers were from Guizhou and then spread to Sichuan. Previously, Sichuan also liked to eat spicy food, and there was no pepper, mainly pepper, so Sichuan people ate marijuana first. Guizhou is the first place to eat spicy food.
Secondly, eating beef is not a local custom of Sichuanese. Beef comes from neighboring areas. Therefore, in terms of eating methods or genes, less seasonings are used, and the original flavor is the main one. Then in the process of localization, there are stew, meat and soup. The gene of beef in the neighboring area is preserved in stewed beef, which does not contain local common spices such as pepper. They still pursue the original flavor of beef and become a substitute for Sichuan cuisine.
Third, it's a bit far. We don't want to stew with spices. It's an ancient practice. In the pre-Qin period, meat, not to mention beef, had no spices or salt. It was a large piece of meat cooked with white water in a tripod. Do you find it difficult to swallow this meat? No, it is delicious. This is the way to eat. This is almost the same as people in the northeast. It was dipped in soy sauce. All the meat is original, without seasoning and salt. It is boiled in white water. When eating, dip in the sauce, and different meats are dipped in different sauces. Therefore, Confucius has a saying:? It is forbidden to eat soy sauce without soy sauce? .
How do you cook beef in clear soup?
Methods and steps of beef broth:
The first step is to prepare1000g fresh beef and1000g beef bones. Onion, salt, pepper, every appropriate amount.
Step 2: soak beef and beef bones in cold water for 24 hours, changing water three times in the middle.

Several points should be paid attention to when making beef broth.
First, the choice of beef. It must be fresh beef. At present, they are all beef cattle. There is nothing wrong with the quality. When buying, be careful not to draw water. It's easy to recognize buffalo beef. Look at that section. It's water. Pick that kind of surface, which is a little dry, and buy some dark ones.
Secondly, beef bones must have at least one tube bone, and bone marrow stew is the most fragrant.
Third, the pre-stewing treatment is in place. Soak the beef until there is no blood. Blood in beef is the source of stench. Stewed beef is naturally delicious and has no peculiar smell.
Fourth, the beef is soaked and does not need to be scalded. The cooling water under the pot boils and skimms on the line, and there is not much foam.
The fifth is beef, which is usually cooked within one hour. Because this stew is not chopped and cut into large pieces, it is stewed for one and a half hours. The bones continued to stew for three or five hours.
Sixth, the whole fire is small, so small that it is cooked a little in the middle of the noodle soup. Only in this way can the broth be kept clear and the soup will be mixed when the fire is high.
Seventh, stew beef soup and beef, complete the flavor of beef, finally treat it, add salt, onion and pepper, and make the combination fresh, so as to push the beef soup out of the most beautiful state.
Eight, I like to eat spicy food. In beef soup and beef, the taste of onion, salt and pepper is completely integrated, and then the pepper is given.
Nine, there are many ways to stew beef in clear soup, most of which are cut into small pieces and stewed with radish, kelp and other dishes. However, all stewing methods do not have this fresh taste, nor are they simple, and there is no such beef soup to enjoy.
