They say Spring Festival is coming soon, but due to epidemic situation, everyone on New Year's Eve may have to cook at home by hand, right? Let's just talk about it. Hey, I think there's nothing wrong with making New Year's Eve dinner at home. After all, you are ready to put real things only when you cook at home, right? So, today Brother Huy is ready to share with you a very heavy dish - fried beef strips!

Beef (beef ribs), onion, ginger, garlic, star anise, sweet noodle sauce, soy sauce, salt, chicken essence, sugar, water starch, pepper oil

Speaking of which, I think these grilled beef strips should be a solid dish that many people in Tianjin enjoy, but it's actually not difficult to make - first is standard chopped green onion, chopped ginger. , and crushed garlic, and then put beef, green onion and ginger slices in a saucepan under cold water. After water boils, remove foam, and then turn on low heat and cook until chopsticks can easily pierce beef. Of course, firepower of each company is different, so I will not give exact time here, it all depends on situation.

When beef is cooked, we need to put it on a plate to cool it down. Please note that at this time we need to find a heavy object to hold beef so that it will be easier to cut later. After waiting for beef to cool, we can cut it into slices or strips and serve on a plate. Of course, it's not impossible if you want to cut into pieces, but hey brother thinks that since our dish is called "strips" of beef steak, it's better to cut it into strips, right? (Although pictures I found are basically not stripes)

First of all, we need to add more sesame oil to pan, then break star anise and fry until fragrant, then add onion, ginger and garlic and fry them over low heat. Then we need to continue to maintain low heat and add sweet noodles and soy sauce to pot. Stir well and add freshly boiled beef broth. After fire boils, cook for fifteen minutes, and then you can remove solid materials in pot approaching. Of course, they can also be fished out before adding sweet noodle sauce, but my brother's main goal is to cook them thoroughly.

Next, we need to take some of these soups and pour them over beef, steam them over high heat for 20 minutes, and then put them back on brazier. It should be noted here that beef should be very soft and rotten at this time, be careful not to break it. And in end, it's very simple, that is, add salt, chicken essence and sugar to beef in a frying spoon to taste, then thicken it with water starch, and finally drizzle with pepper oil to start eating!

As mentioned earlier, these fried beef strips are definitely a tough dish that almost everyone in Tianjin knows, and this dish is sure to pair perfectly with rice. So folks, this year's Spring Festival you can show off your cooking skills with this recipe from Brother Hi to let whole family know about your culinary superpowers. One thing I can say... In my experience, after this hand is exposed, I always have to get wet in kitchen during Spring Festival... Don't ask me how I know...
