Beef with Sauce
1.
First cut the beef shank into large pieces to prevent the stew from falling apart, soak the water to remove the blood, change the water halfway, and then cool the pot under the water to boil the blood and impurities.
2.
When cooking the meat, prepare the spices and mix the proportions, wash off the floating ash, and wrap the fennel and pepper with a small cloth.
3.
Next, remove the cooked beef, rinse off the impurities, and soak it in cold water to cool it thoroughly. This step must be done, and you must keep in mind that if this step is not done, the meat will have a poor texture and the meat will shrink after the sauce.
4.
When the meat is cold, let's cook the spice brine, put the spice in an appropriate amount of water, simmer for 15 minutes, and turn to a low heat.
5.
Then put the cold beef cubes into the pot, pour in the boiled spice brine, and continue to simmer for 10 minutes, while skimming the foam.
6.
Transfer the stewed meat in the pot to a large pot, and then pour in an appropriate amount of water. The meat is covered with salt, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce.
7.
Finally, add a handful of rock sugar. This large pot is a pressure cooker. Cover it and simmer for 20 minutes.
8.
Put the meat on the sauce, soak it in the stewed soup overnight, remove and drain the next day, and slice it for consumption.
