Production steps
1 first of all, for the selection of beef, it is best to choose beef tendon, which is soft and chewy. Cut the prepared beef in half, put it in a big bowl, then pour it into clear water without beef, soak it for two hours, and soak the blood out. After two hours, take out the beef, put it under running water and rinse it again. Then put the beef in a pot with cold water and heat it on high fire. Take this time, let's prepare the seasoning for braised beef.
2. Prepare two star anises, two fragrant leaves, a small piece of cinnamon, a piece of angelica dahurica, a piece of tsaoko, a little dried pepper, a little dried tangerine peel and a handful of pepper. Then take a small bowl, add a spoonful of soy sauce, a spoonful of pillar sauce and a piece of tofu brain to the bowl. The above three sauces are necessary for braised beef, which will make the beef taste more mellow.
After the water is boiled, skim off the floating foam on the beef surface with a spoon. Then turn to medium heat, pour 40 ml of light soy sauce and 10 ml of dark soy sauce into the pot, and then add the seasoning such as star anise leaves and soy sauce, and pour them into the pot together. Finally, add some shallots, ginger slices and a spoonful of sugar.
3. After all the seasonings are added, you can taste a little, then add salt appropriately and adjust it according to your personal taste. Next, prepare a pressure cooker and transfer the beef to the pressure cooker. The pressure cooker is deep, so that the marinade can soak the beef better.
After the beef is boiled, keep the fire low to make the beef appear half-opened, and stew for about an hour and a half. If it is cooked in a big fire, the beef will be evacuated because the gravy is too hard, so the whole process should be stewed with a small fire. In this step, the pressure cooker does not need to be inflated, just cover it slightly.
It's time, open the lid and turn it with chopsticks. When it is cooked enough to be poked with chopsticks, but not particularly soft and rotten, the beef will be marinated. You can clip it out with a clip, put it in a bowl, cool it and slice it. But the best way to eat it is to pour the gravy into a bowl and soak it in the refrigerator for one night before eating.
This will make the beef taste more delicious. The next day, take out the beef directly and slice it into thin slices. The thinner the better, the better the taste. After cutting, put it on a plate, sprinkle with a little coriander, and a delicious sauce beef is ready. It tastes very mellow and delicious.
