The first thing is to pay attention to the cold water when boiling. After cleaning the tendon beef, it needs to be soaked in clear water for about two hours. In this way, the blood and impurities in beef can be soaked out, and the fishy smell can be removed. Because tendon meat is very easy to cook, we will blanch it after soaking. When blanching, everyone must pay attention to the cold water in the pot, which can effectively blanch the blood in the beef and ensure that the meat quality is more soft and rotten.
Then there are four kinds of spices: clove, cinnamon, star anise and dried tangerine peel. For clove, many people are not familiar with it. This is a kind of aniseed, which is often overlooked when making braised pork. In fact, this kind of spice is also essential. After it is put on, it can play a fresh role and make the stewed meat more fragrant. The second seasoning is cinnamon, which we often use. Cinnamon can enhance the umami taste of meat and remove the fishy smell. The meat marinated by many friends is not delicious because of the lack of cinnamon. For the third seasoning, star anise, everyone is familiar with it. When we add this kind of aniseed to braised beef, it can achieve the effect of removing fishy smell. The last seasoning is dried tangerine peel, which can absorb the oil in the braised pork when you put it in the braised pork, so it won't be very greasy.
There is also a grasp of the heat. After the beef is marinated, don't take it out immediately. You need to boil the marinated soup before putting the materials. After boiling, turn it to a small fire and slowly marinate it. When the time comes, turn it off. Moreover, after the beef is marinated, don't take it out immediately. Continue to wait for the beef to soak in the brine until the marinated soup is a little cold, and then take out the beef until it fully absorbs the water in the marinated sauce, so that the marinated beef is more tasty and soft. Braised beef should have the best taste, and the knife skill is also very important. After the beef is cooled, it can be cut in the refrigerator 1 hour or more, which can make it thinner and not easy to rot, and it must be cut horizontally according to the texture of the beef.
