Here are the detailed steps to make braised beef:
First of all, we need to cut the prepared fresh beef into pieces, then soak them in clean water to remove the blood and odor inside, soak for about half an hour, and then rinse them repeatedly.
Next, prepare a pot, pour a small amount of oil into the hot pan, then add the green onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry evenly, until fragrant. Then, we put the beef pieces in a pan and stir-fry over low heat until the chameleon is fragrant.
At this time, we add a spoonful of cooking wine, a spoonful of light soy sauce, a little sugar and a spoonful of salt to the side of the pot, and continue to stir-fry evenly. You can add star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and dried chilies. Then, add plenty of water, bring to a boil over high heat, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 1 and a half hours until the beef is soft and delicious.
Finally, add an appropriate amount of water starch to thicken, and you can complete the cooking of braised beef, which is really mouth-watering.
