-------------------home-cooked beef with soy sauce.
Ingredients: 800g of beef, 2 tablespoons of soybean sauce, sweet noodle sauce 1 spoon, half a green onion, 3 slices of fragrant leaves, 2 pieces of cinnamon, 2 pieces of star anise, a proper amount of pepper 1 stick, a proper amount of rock sugar, 3 dried peppers, fennel 1 stick, 3 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of dark soy sauce and cooking wine.
Production steps:
Step 1: Many people always like to blanch beef when marinating it. In fact, it is unnecessary to blanch beef to remove blood and impurities. At home, we only need to cut the beef into large pieces, then soak it in light salt water for 2 hours, and change the water four times in the middle, and the blood inside will naturally come out. I chose the beef brisket this time. I bought a pound of 27 yuan in the supermarket and a piece of 44 yuan money, which was quite cost-effective.
Step 2: While soaking the beef, we prepare the sauce for braised pork. We want the beef sauce to be full of flavor. We prepare two kinds of sauces, 2 tablespoons of soybean sauce and 1 tablespoon of sweet noodle sauce 1 spoon. If the amount of beef is large, we can add more.
Step 3: Prepare some aniseed, not too much, just what we often use, such as half a green onion, 3 fragrant leaves, 2 cinnamon, 2 star anise, pepper 1 bar, proper amount of rock sugar, 3 dried peppers, fennel 1 bar, and you can buy a material package directly if you want to save trouble.
Step 4: Mix another bowl of cooking water, which is very simple. Add 3 tablespoons of soy sauce to increase the bottom flavor, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to color, and cooking wine 1 spoon to slightly remove the fishy smell, because the blood has already escaped, so don't put too much.
Step 5: After the beef is soaked, wash it repeatedly with clear water for several times, then put it into the casserole, add enough cold water, and do not add water in the middle, just add enough at one time. Then add the sauce, aniseed and juice and stir well.
Step 6: Boil the water with high fire at first, then turn to low heat and continue cooking for 60 minutes. If it is beef tenderloin, it needs to be cooked for 80 minutes. After cooking, you will find that the beef has obviously shrunk and its volume has become smaller. At this time, add a little salt, and then continue to cook for 1 min. When the salt particles melt, turn off the heat.
Step 7: After turning off the fire, don't eat it in a hurry. Take out all the seasoning dregs inside, and then let the beef soak in the brine for one night, so that the braised beef is ready, which is particularly simple.
Tips:
1, when you cook the sauce beef at home, you don't need to blanch at all. You can let the blood in it run clean by soaking it in light salt water, so that the marinated sauce beef not only tastes good, but also tastes particularly good.
2, the remaining marinated soup of marinated beef can continue to marinate other ingredients, such as tofu skewers, dried beans, tofu, eggs, are particularly delicious, don't waste it.
3, autumn and winter, the weather is cold, eating more beef can play a role in keeping warm and enhancing physical fitness, and you can eat more.
