Pressure cooker beef stew is an absolute temptation in the hearts of foodies, but how to make it tender and delicious is a difficult challenge. Don't worry, today, I'm going to reveal the top-secret tricks of beef stew, so you can easily control the pressure cooker and become a tender beef master!
First and foremost, it's important to choose high-quality beef. A fat and lean brisket or tenderloin is the best choice. When cutting the cuts, remember to keep them evenly sized to ensure that the beef is evenly applied during the stew and that one piece of meat is too old or too mushy.
Next, prepare the ingredients. Slice the ginger and garlic, dice the onion and carrots, and set aside. Heat the oil in a pan, stir-fry the ginger and garlic until fragrant, then add the beef cubes and fry until golden brown on both sides. This step not only enhances the aroma of the meat, but also makes the beef charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Now it's time to put the fried beef in the pressure cooker, add salt, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and cooking wine, then add onions and carrots, and add enough water to cover at least the beef cubes.
Close the lid of the pressure cooker, turn on the high heat, wait for the steam to come out of the valve, turn to low heat and simmer slowly. This process takes about 30 minutes, during which time there is no need to open the lid. The high temperature and high pressure of the pressure cooker make the muscle fibers inside the beef relax quickly, keeping the meat tender.
As the clock ticked by, the kitchen was filled with gurgling sounds and the smell was overflowing. At this time, you can do something you like or prepare a beautiful table for the tender beef that is about to arrive.
The long-awaited moment finally came, turn off the fire source, and gently turn the air valve to release the steam in the pot. When the air valve is lowered, the lid of the pot is gently opened, and the aroma immediately fills the whole room, making people salivate.
Remove the stewed beef, sprinkle with coriander and pour over a spoonful of steaming soup. When the beef is cut open, the tender red color is exposed, and it looks appetizing. Pick up a piece of beef with chopsticks and take a bite, and the delicate texture immediately spreads, as if soaked in the taste of heaven.
Pressure cooker beef stew has simple ingredients and simple techniques, but it can make a wonderful table. If you haven't mastered this top-secret trick, try it! Let the pressure cooker become your right-hand man for stewing beef, and enjoy the delicious and satisfying moment!
