1. Wash the cow keys on the front legs and cut them into large pieces 10cm square. Pour water into the pot, heat it with high fire, put the beef in, scald it with boiling water, take it out, and soak it in cold water to make it tight.

2. Put clove, pepper, star anise, dried tangerine peel, fennel and licorice into a seasoning box (or put cinnamon and geranium directly into the pot because they are easy to get). Wash the green onions and cut them into three sections. Wash the ginger and pat it with a knife. 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp sugar, 2 tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp spiced powder.

3. Pour a proper amount of water into the casserole, heat it with high fire, and add spices, onion ginger, soy sauce, soy sauce, sugar and spiced powder in turn. After boiling, add beef, continue to cook with high fire for about 15 minutes, and turn to low heat until the meat is cooked. As long as you stick it with chopsticks, you can pass it smoothly. Take out the beef pieces and put them in a ventilated and cool place for about 2 hours (the original soup is reserved for later use).

4. Pour the cooled beef into the boiled original soup and simmer for half an hour.

5. Take it out after stewing, let it cool and cut it into thin slices.

Cooking tips

1, the second step of cold water soaking method is very important, try not to omit it, otherwise the cooked meat will be loose and taste slightly worse.

2. For the cooling method in the third step, if you think it takes too long, let it cool completely, but this step is also very important ~ ~
