The extraordinary function of beef is widely recorded in China medical classics. The beef medicine was first recorded in Bielu, which said: cure thirst and stop diarrhea; Anzhong Yiqi Nourishes the Spleen and Stomach ""Compendium of Medical Forests "contains:" Beef tastes sweet, and those who specialize in nourishing spleen and spleen and stomach are the foundation of acquired qi and blood, and those who supplement this will all supplement it "; Qian Jin's "Don't Spit Everywhere" Compendium: "The person who covers the meat is called medicine, which is cooked as liquid and intangible. So it can penetrate from the stomach to the skin, hair, nails, everywhere. In appearance, people are sweating because of spitting, but in the way of sweeping, people spit and go away, while in the way of melting, people are selfish, just like a flood, old mistakes flow downstream, full of slack, moist and dry, with pure joy. As a medicine, beef has a long history, which shows its position in the eyes of doctors.
How to make beef delicious?
Beef seasoned with soy sauce
Actually, it's very simple.
1. Cut a whole piece of beef (weighing 2 Jin) into three pieces and wash it. Put cold water in the pot, add the chopped beef (the water has not covered the beef), boil it over high fire, take out the beef and wash it. PS: The tendon and meat in the calf are more suitable for making sauce beef.
2. Put a proper amount of water (without beef) into the pot, and then add five spices powder, sugar, salt, soy sauce, star anise, dried Chili, ginger slices, pepper and cooking wine. Cook until you can simply poke it with chopsticks. PS: If you use a pressure cooker, you can cook it for about 10 minutes after charging.
3. Soak the cooked beef in the soup for one night, take it out the next day and leave it for several hours to make its surface dry and easy to cut. When cutting, be careful not to cut along the texture of the meat. It is best to cut vertically, so that it is not difficult to eat.
4. Put the cut beef on the plate. Take a little beef juice, heat it, pour it on the beef, and then add sesame oil and chopped green onion. PS: If the beef is light (especially the meat in the middle), you can add some soy sauce to the gravy or make sauce according to your own taste.
The rest of the broth can also be made into noodles, delicious!

Use hot water instead of cold water.

In the process of cooking, put salt in the later stage and add enough water at a time. If you find that there is little water, you should add boiling water.
