How to make crispy beef:

1. Cut the beef into mahjong-sized pieces and soak it in cold water for two hours to remove the blood. , change the water several times in between. Then use a large pot to boil the water, and put the beef into the water. After the water boils again, skim off the blood foam, remove and drain. If you feel it is still not clean, you can wash it with boiling water again.

2. Chop the watercress finely, smash the grass fruits, smash it with ginger and garlic, and soak the mushrooms. (I was too lazy this time and didn’t chop them finely, so the appearance was not ideal.)

3. Pot Put a little base oil in the medium. When the oil is hot, add ginger slices and garlic cloves, then add finely chopped Pixian watercress and stir-fry over low heat for two or three minutes. Be careful not to burn it. When the red oil comes out, the soy sauce aroma of the watercress will also come out. Finally, add dried chili peppers, star anise and grass fruits, then add beef pieces and stir-fry over high heat. At the same time, add cooking wine and keep stir-frying. Dark soy sauce is also added at this time.

4. Transfer the fried beef to the casserole Here, at this time, add the boiling hot beef bone broth (I usually buy canned beef broth and boil it first). If not, add boiling water. The soup just covers the meat, and then boil over high heat.

5 , at this time, add rock sugar and peppercorns, clove packets, tangerine peel, green onion knots, mushrooms and pepper, squeeze a small spoonful of tomato sauce. Pour everything into the casserole, cover it and let it boil over low heat until it boils. Let it simmer for about 3 hours, or you can simmer it directly in a soup pot or electric stew pot over low heat
