The choice of brisket:
Generally go to the market to buy beef, will hear the meat seller say: this piece of meat how how good drops of words, in fact, do not be fooled, "Wang Mao sell melon" story I believe we all know, buy beef just remember 3 words, beef not stained hands do not have the meat color is not bright red! Do not, beef is too soft not hard do not.
Beef cut:
No matter what kind of beef you are doing, you need to remember that beef must be cut on top of the silk, or else it will affect the taste not to mention that, it is estimated that the teeth are not good will also be jammed, so cut the beef before, be sure to recognize the brisket grain in the knife.
Practice:
1, first of all, into the pot with water, first cut the brisket into the pot. Brisket in the blanching must remember to cold water in the pot, only cold water slowly heated, can the blood inside the beef completely cooked out
2, in general, cooking beef only need to cook three to five minutes can be completely boiled through, the color changes to whitening can be exposed, and then rinse with cold water, mainly to remove the surface of the blood foam.
3, then the net pot add vegetable oil, first into the star anise, cardamom, cinnamon, sesame leaves, ginger fried flavor.
4, after the spices are fried, you can put in the previously cooked beef. Put the beef in the pot a little stir-fry, stir-fry dry vapor, you can add some dry chili salt, and then put a little hot pot base, you can choose their favorite flavors, such as: spicy, hot and sour, there may be a lot of people are more excluded from the hot pot base. In fact, it is convenient to cook at home with hot pot base.
5, and then add the right amount of pure water in the pot, just need to be no more than the brisket can be, and then boil with high heat.
6, here I choose the pressure cooker, because the pressure cooker pressure out of the brisket is more soft, the taste is also more rotten. If stewed inside the casserole, it may appear more stuffed, meat firewood, of course, we have to according to their own situation, how convenient to use what.
7, brisket is usually inside the pressure cooker, only need to press about 17 to 20 minutes. After the pressure is cooked, you can put a little bit of side dishes underneath the skillet to cushion the bottom. Then fill the pot with brisket and soup. Remember one thing, the milk in the pot, you need to be inside the dried chili, spices elected not to.
Tips: do brisket hot pot is actually relatively simple. We only need to remember three key points,
First, cut beef when you need to cut the top wire.
Second, blanching must be remembered to clean the blood foam.
Third, try to use a pressure cooker. Because the pressure cooker saves time, and the flavor and texture of the pressed brisket is also better.
