Soup with blanched meat in a casserole
11.
11. Bring to a boil on high heat, turn to low heat and simmer (the lid can be opened in the middle) for an hour and a half, turn off the heat (don't open the lid), simmer for half an hour, then turn on the fire and simmer for half an hour.
Tips:
The key to tender beef is to stew first, then braise and stew. Don't add any more salt. I didn't forget to add salt. The saltiness of soy sauce and bean paste has satisfied this dish. If you like salty, you can simmer it well, taste the taste the second time the fire is turned on, and make up for the lack of salt.
