Braised Beef

This recipe comes with a lot of spices. If you can, try to get all of them. If you don’t have any, it’s okay to be short of 1-2! After the stew is done, the soup is filtered and can be frozen and stored. It is now stewed. You can also use pork leg bones instead of beef heads for marinating. You can also marinate some chicken feet and chicken wings while marinating the beef. It's great!

〖Ingredients〗4-5 pounds of beef tendon, 40-50g of salt (for pickling), one beef bone, a small handful of green onions, and 15 grams of ginger slices

[Spices] 2 sections of cinnamon bark, 2 pieces of sand ginger, 3 grass fruits, half of Luo Han Guo (optional), 5 star anise, 4 bay leaves, 2 cloves, 30-50 Sichuan peppercorns, optional dried chili, licorice 2 slices, 2 slices of tangerine peel, 2 slices of Angelica dahurica, 3 white cardamoms, a handful of cumin

15g ginger, a handful of chives, 50g dark soy sauce, 120g light soy sauce, 50g sesame oil, rock sugar, Add appropriate amounts of salt and chicken essence or leave them out

〖Method〗The first step is to pay attention: don’t wash the beef after you buy it, don’t wash it, don’t wash it! ! ! Just add salt to marinate, 10 grams of salt per pound of meat, no more. I tried it many times, but if it is too much, it will taste salty like marinated meat, and then put a heavy object on top, just like pickles

2. Generally marinate for 2-3 days, turn once every 24 hours, and continue to press! Keep it in the refrigerator when the temperature is high, or in a cool place in winter (those who are anxious to eat can marinate it in the morning and marinate it in the evening, but the taste of the beef will be worse)

3. We can prepare the meat the day before the marinating is completed. For the braised pork soup, I went to the market late and didn’t buy beef bones. Next time I’ll re-post the operation method: wash the beef leg bones, put them in the pot with cold water, bring to a boil over high heat, turn off the heat when a lot of foam comes out, and use Clean the beef leg bones with warm water, then put water in a casserole, add the bones, and bring the ginger slices to a boil over high heat. Remove the foam again, then add the green onion knots, reduce to low heat and simmer for 4-5 hours, until the soup turns white, turn off the heat and let it go. After cooling, refrigerate for later use

4. On the day when the beef is marinated, prepare the spices, place them in gauze, and make braised pork buns!

5. Take out the refrigerated beef soup, put the white oil and part of the soup on the surface into the pot for braised pork (don’t waste the remaining soup, it is very popular to make curry potato beef soup ) Then add water to the braised pork pot. You have to be careful here, that is, the beef can be completely covered in a while. Add it all at once. Do not add it in the middle of braised pork later. Then add the braised beef ingredients except chicken essence, sesame oil, Put everything except salt into the pot, simmer over high heat for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and set aside.

6. Take out the marinated meat and rinse it with water. Be quick and only rinse the surface. , then add cold water to the pot, stir it slightly and turn to low heat for 8 minutes after boiling, so that the blood foam can be removed more cleanly

7. Take it out and rinse each piece of meat again, this time Clean it and set it aside

8. Boil the marinade you just cooked again, add beef, bring to a boil over high heat, then add sesame oil, taste it yourself before adding salt, then turn to low heat and simmer. About 60-90 minutes, you can turn off the heat when chopsticks can be inserted easily. If you like chicken essence, add it at this time.

9. I usually turn off the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes before taking it out, otherwise the meat will be too rotten and you won’t like it. You can operate it according to your own preferences

10. This time I The beef brisket is also braised together, which is a great mixture of fat and lean.

11. The beef brisket is crispy and melts in the mouth

12. If you like it sliced, you can mix it with your own when eating. Dipping ingredients: millet pepper, coriander, sesame oil, vinegar, light soy sauce, sugar, green onions, sesame seeds, try it, it’s delicious!
