Ingredients
Beef ( a pound ) | White radish ( Half one ) |
Onion ( 三小section ) | Ginger ( Three slices ) |
Star anise ( 1 ) | Cooking wine ( a little ) |
Salt ( a little ) | MSG ( a little ) |
1.Wash the white radish first, use a peeler to remove the skin, cut into pieces, put in a bowl and set aside.I bought this kind of white radish.
2. If you buy beef fresh at the supermarket, cut it into pieces of about 1.5~2CM., if you bought it frozen before and need to defrost it in the refrigerator, it is more convenient to take it out and thaw it in advance.It is more convenient to cut it into pieces while there is still a little bit of it before it is completely thawed.
3.Cut the onion and ginger, prepare the star anise, I will use electricity later It is made in a pressure cooker, so just put it in the pressure cooker filled with water in advance and set aside.
4. For the blanch step, add boiling water to the pot and put the radish in the pot for 3 minutes , so that when it is stewed for a while, it will be more flavorful without being spicy.
5. Note, do not use the water used for radish to continue blanching beef, as this will easily lead to odor transfer..After changing the water, boil the beef in cold water and then remove it to blanch the bleeding foam.
6.Then put them in a bowl or other container for later use
7.Put the beef into the electric pressure cooker, add a little cooking wine and half a spoonful of salt.When you are ready to press the beef, be careful not to put the white radish in at this time, only press the beef.If you don't want too much soup, you can use less water.I wanted to save the soup for making beef noodle soup later, so I added a little more.
8.Select the electric pressure cooker to the beef and mutton setting.This pot has the beef and mutton setting.It is 28 minutes.If you feel that 28 minutes is not enough, you can customize the time.
9.After the beef comes out of the pot, it is also the most important point to float it.Take out the oil with a spoon and pour it out.If you eat so much oil, you will definitely burst your blood vessels.(Be careful not to burn your hands when deflating)
10.Put the stewed beef in Put it into a casserole, add white radish, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat for about 10 to 20 minutes.The time can be adjusted according to the tenderness of the meat and the rawness and ripeness of the radish.You can taste the saltiness halfway through.If it is salty, you can add some seasoning and continue stewing.The beef will taste quickly at this time.But remember, it must be simmered over low heat so that the soup will not be lost.
11. If there is no problem, you can get out of the pot.
Tips
A little tip is that pregnant women need to be careful not to eat too much salt.Theoretically, they can avoid eating MSG and star anise.But in fact, I asked the doctor that as long as they are not excessively used, it will not have much impact on pregnant women, so I have all the seasonings for the ingredients.Substantial reduction.In fact, when making beef normally, you don’t need to change the pot as much as I did.You can put the radish in the pot in the seventh step.I do this to ensure that the saltiness of the beef is controllable.After all, this is my first time making it, so it would be bad if it tastes salty.
