Braised Beef (electric Pressure Cooker Version)
1.
The most important thing for braised beef is the choice of beef ingredients. If you choose the wrong beef parts, the marinated beef will look like scraps in your mouth without a chewy texture. The best part is beef tendon meat. The so-called tendon meat is simply the meat of the calf that is close to the hooves. The meat here contains tendons, and it is very chewy in the mouth after being marinated.
2.
Wash the purchased beef tendon meat. The beef tendon meat will have some diaphragms. The beef can be divided into beef pieces of uniform size according to the diaphragm lengthwise.
3.
Look at the criss-crossing white lines inside the beef cubes, which are the chewy beef tendons after being marinated.
4.
Put the cut beef tendon into the electric pressure cooker.
5.
Take out the pre-prepared marinade. Actually, I don’t really like to buy that kind of marinated bag. I like to buy some spices in the store near the vegetable market and ask the store to grab some ingredients for the marinated steak. Contains a variety of star anise, cinnamon, bay leaf, cumin, grass fruit, angelica, prickly ash, etc. You don’t need to buy them one by one.
6.
Sprinkle an appropriate amount of marinade on the beef cubes. The amount of marinade should be roughly based on the amount of beef cubes, but it does not need to be particularly precise. Like I used to put more star anise, cinnamon, cumin, and bay leaves. , I put a little bit of the rest of the halogen material appropriately.
7.
Pour in the right amount of water, the amount of water is just over the beef, and then sprinkle with the right amount of salt. Because it is a stewed dish, it will take a longer time, so the amount of salt should not be too small, otherwise it will not be easy to store.
8.
Pour in an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce. Note that dark soy sauce is used here instead of light soy sauce. Light soy sauce cannot be colored, and the marinated beef will not look good.
9.
Select the "beef and mutton" program of the electric pressure cooker and press the "start" button to work on its own. The time for braising beef in our house is 60 minutes. (You can do anything else while the electric pressure cooker is working)
10.
When the electric pressure cooker work procedure is over, do not panic open the electric pressure cooker, and manually exhaust the air. The reason for manual exhaust is that you can’t wait for the electric pressure cooker to exhaust the air slowly, otherwise the beef will be simmered in the electric pressure cooker for too long. It is completely crisp and cannot be formed.
11.
After the air is exhausted, turn on the electric pressure cooker, use chopsticks to pick up the marinated beef piece by piece and put it into the basin.
12.
Don’t pour out the remaining marinade of the marinated beef. You can leave it here. According to this method, you can choose different procedures of electric pressure cooker to marinate chicken feet, pork belly, and lotus root. You don’t need to add any seasonings. The taste is also first-rate!
13.
If you want to eat the marinated beef that day, don’t panic and cut it. The beef that is sliced hot will fall apart. You have to wait for it to cool and dry for several hours before you cut it. The beef that has just been out of the pan is dark brown, and the color will become a lot darker after a few hours.
14.
If the beef cubes are not eaten immediately after cooling, they can be packed in a fresh-keeping bag and stored in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. When you want to eat, just take it out and thaw it. The usual way to eat cold beef at home is to cut the beef into thin slices against the lines of the beef, put them neatly on the plate, drizzle some sesame oil, and serve with Lee Kum Kee's cold sauce. The chewy beef slices are dipped in full. The sauce is so delicious!
Tips:
Put the frozen beef in the refrigerator and defrost it when you want to eat it. If it’s too cold, you can slice it and put it on a plate, cover it with plastic wrap, and steam it in a steamer before eating. You can also slice it and fry it with chili and cut into pieces. Braised with potatoes, you can also eat beef noodles...you can eat whatever you want!
