A brisket is a piece of meat from the belly of a cow that usually has some tendons, meat, and oil. It is a boneless strip of meat taken from the ribs of a cow, with more lean meat, less fat, and less tendons, making it suitable for braised or stewed soups. Beef brisket is rich in protein and amino acids, and the proportion of various amino acids is basically the same as that of various amino acids in human protein, and the sarcosine contained in it is higher than that of any food.
Home-cooked stewed beef brisket is a delicious and nutritious home-cooked dish that is loved by people for its delicious taste and tender meat. Below, I will introduce you to the correct way to stew beef brisket at home.
First, prepare the ingredients you need: beef brisket, ginger, green onion, garlic, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, salt, rock sugar, spices (star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, etc.). You can also use the seasoning packets sold by the merchant directly.
Next, cut the brisket into mahjong-sized pieces, rinse them with water, and blanch them in boiling water to remove blood and impurities. Blanch and remove for later use.
Then, add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, heat it and add ginger slices, green onions, and garlic cloves to stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the beef brisket and stir-fry until the surface is slightly yellow, then add cooking wine to remove the smell.
Next, add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce and stir-fry evenly to fully color the brisket. Then add an appropriate amount of water, add rock sugar and spices, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer.
During the slow cooking process, constantly observe the situation in the pot and turn the brisket at the right time to ensure that it is evenly heated. At the same time, add salt to taste according to personal taste.
When the brisket is simmered until soft and flavourful, turn off the heat. Finally, serve the stewed beef brisket on a plate, sprinkle with some chopped green onions, and serve.
Some people like to eat potatoes and tomatoes, which are usually added when they are almost ripe, and then simmered until they are fully cooked for 5-10 minutes.
It should be noted that the brisket should be fully soaked before stewing, and the more fully soaked, the smaller the fishy smell, preferably for more than 2 hours. The time of stewing the brisket should be adjusted according to the meat quality and size of the brisket. If the brisket is larger or the meat is firmer, it may take longer to simmer. At the same time, keep the heat moderate during the simmering process and avoid overheating or overheating.
