# 高颜值美食 # Beef and potatoes are absolutely the perfect combination, and it feels like no one will not love it. Braised braised is a practice that everyone can do, but to make it delicious, you still need some tricks. My family loves the braised beef I made so much, and they will ask for it after a while. <ingredients> - 1.5 lbs beef cut into cubes (any portion with alternate fat) - 4 potatoes cut into hob chunks - 3 slices of ginger - 2 spoons of cooking wine - 1 scoop Lee Kum Kee Braised Soy Sauce - 1 scoop of dark soy sauce - 3 scoops of light soy sauce - 1 scoop of fermented bean curd - 1 spoon of bean paste - 1 piece of aniseed - a small handful of sliced shallots - 2 red peppers - moderate salt - 1 spoon vinegar - Moderate amount of coriander <step> 1. Add beef and 2 slices of ginger to a pot with cold water, add 1 spoon of cooking wine. After boiling, use a spoon to skim off the foam. Set aside after water control. 2. Add a small amount of oil in a wok over low heat, heat the sugar until it melts into a caramel color. Add beef and stir fry to color. Add cooking wine, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, fermented bean curd, bean paste, aniseed, spring onion, red pepper. 3. Add boiling water to cover the meat, add an appropriate amount of salt, turn to low heat after the water boils, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes. Add the potatoes and simmer for another 15 minutes, then turn off the lid and open the fire to collect the juice. 4. When the soup is thick, turn off the heat, add vinegar, cover the pot and simmer for 20 seconds, and add cilantro before serving. <Tips> - It is best to choose a cast iron pot for stewing meat, so that the stewed meat is very tender and very fragrant. - Be sure to blanch the beef in cold water so that the outside of the meat is not too hard. - Add the beef immediately after the white sugar has melted, if it is dark brown before adding it will make the meat bitter. - To judge the amount of "appropriate amount of salt", you can use chopsticks to dip a little broth to taste the saltiness. The meat will be slightly saltier than the soup. - A little vinegar added at the end is the finishing touch, I believe I will make the meat very fragrant. - I really recommend Lee Kum Kee's soy sauce, it's super delicious! Especially the braised soy sauce, if the taste is heavy, you can put more.
