I've never been very good at cooking beef. I usually crush it in a pressure cooker, add curry to make curry beef soup, and I can eat it. If beef is cooked in other ways, the evaluation given to me is one word "old!" " One day when I talked about cooking in the office, Xiao Li said that he "marinated" beef, so he quickly asked for advice. In fact, it's not difficult, spice+broth+time, and what's important is to have old soup. I have long yearned for the practice of "halogen", but the menu is very complicated, there are many spices, and there are many unusual ones. Plus, starting from the soup, I feel my head is big. But Xiao Li said that I would put whatever spices I had, so I decided to do it once. Beef tendon has been bought and stored in the refrigerator for a long time, and I have been afraid to do it. I also bought spices from the supermarket, a big pig bone and two chicken racks to prepare soup. All right, the materials are ready, let's do it!

Cooking skills

1 You can buy a ready-made marinade bag if there are few spices at home or it is too troublesome. If you don't want to cook the broth, please ignore the first step. Just add water when marinating.

2 The dosage is estimated by the gross, and it is not weighed. The principle is that it is better to eat less than more, and it will be bitter if it is too much, and it will be uncomfortable if the aroma is too strong.

3 The seasoning is also better to eat less than more. If it is light, it can be added with salt. If it is salty, it will be difficult to adjust. Some people like to add chili and other ingredients, please add

4 according to their own preferences. I read a recipe for braised beef, saying that beef should not be washed when bought, but marinated for 2 days first. I always think it's strange not to wash beef, so it's better to wash it. As for pickled beef, I think we can try it, but after reading the comments, many people say that beef stinks after being pickled for two days, so if you want to marinate it first, don't marinate it for too long.

5 How long can the old brine be preserved? Actually, I don't know. I think the experience of my kitchen friends says that it should be cooked once a week in cold storage, so it shouldn't matter if it is cooked once every half month in cold storage, right?

the next time you marinate something, you can add spices and seasonings according to the amount of soup stock and the amount of food to marinate.
