My family loves to eat beef, and beef appears on my table every three to five minutes. I buy beef will be selected according to the method, if you want to fry beef, then I will pick cucumber strip beef, cucumber strip beef in the beef hip edge of the strip of beef, this part of the beef tender, very suitable for stir-frying, if you want to use to make brine beef, the preferred beef tendon, beef tendon is the beef thigh muscle, this part of the beef meat is red, there is a meat film wrapped, there are ribs inside, moderate hardness, grain rules. Beef tendon is used to make brine meat, after doing it, shine on the light, you can see the light and shade, the pattern is very beautiful. This is the first point to pay attention to the marinated beef, choose the right part of the beef, it is best to use beef tendons to make marinated beef.
Some friends may think that the marinated beef is delicious and time-consuming, they will think that the roasted beef only takes about ten minutes, and the marinated beef takes a long time. This is the second point I want to say that the marinated beef should be paid attention to, the marinated beef does not take too long, I myself marinated beef boiled in water and cooked over medium-low heat for 40 minutes, the beef can be inserted with chopsticks on it, the marinated beef is too long, the beef is loose and not delicious. Do not fish up the beef immediately after turning off the heat, let the beef soak in the marinade juice, let the beef absorb the taste of the marinade, and then fish it up and slice it before eating the marinated beef, which is the third point to pay attention to the marinated beef.
Everyone makes marinated beef to pay attention to these three points, brine beef will not be dry nor firewood, but also particularly delicious. Some friends will think that buying star anise, peppercorns, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, white root, cumin, galangal, nutmeg, grass and other spices are too troublesome, some friends will ask how much soy sauce, cooking wine, rock sugar and salt are used, this time to share a simple and convenient way to taste good.
【Marinated beef】
【Ingredients】 Beef tendon 2 pounds, old marinade 150 ml, ginger 1 large piece, 1 large spoon of white wine
Star anise, fragrant leaves, cinnamon and grass fruits to taste.
【Directions】
The first step to prepare the ingredients for the marinated beef, there are only two people in my family, there are too many brine whole beef tendons at a time, I only use half a beef tendon. The use of old marinade, the benefits of the old marinade do not match their own spices, the old marinade uses star anise, peppercorns, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, white root, cumin, galangal, nutmeg, grass and other spices, after careful rationing, boiled for 48 hours. I also used a little star anise leaf cinnamon and grass fruit, which tasted more fragrant.
Step 2 Put the beef tendons and ginger skin into the cooking pot and add the cooking wine to cook together.
Step 3 After boiling the beef tendons for an additional 5 minutes, you can see that the beef tendons have foam. The beef tendons are rinsed with water and soaked in clean water, and the beef tendons are free of foam and drained under the water.
Step 4 Beef tendons, white wine, star anise, fragrant leaves, cinnamon, grass fruits, ginger slices are all put into the cooking pot, add 900 ml of water, pour in the old marinade, the old marinade has seasonings, no need to add other seasonings. The old marinade and water are put into the cooking pot in a 1:6 ratio, and I myself think 1:4 is too salty. You can adjust the ratio of the old marinade to water between 1;4 and 1:6 according to your preference. In addition to the marinated beef, I also added a few eggs to the brine.
Step 5 After boiling on high heat, turn to low heat, cook for half an hour, fish out the beef to see the state, if you can insert it with chopsticks, then you can. If you can't insert it with chopsticks, then continue to cook. When the chopsticks can be easily inserted, then you can turn off the heat. Marinated beef soaked in marinade juice, soaked for more than 3 hours, preferably overnight.
—Connie says—
The method of brine beef is very simple, no need to fry sugar color, beef blanching water and brine beef when adding white wine, you can remove the meat taste. Here also pay attention to the marinated beef do not put salt, marinated beef can be dipped in sauce to taste.
The marinated beef can be sliced and served to the table, and it can also be used to make beef noodles, which is not tired of eating the braised beef in my house.
