Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 What I bought from the Hui people's market was the upper brain part of the beef, but the meat seller didn't cut it into fine meat. The upper brain meat was tender and could be fried or grilled. There was also some meat with oil and fascia on the side. I used a knife to cut out the fine meat from the upper brain meat, and marinated the remaining pieces of meat. The oil can be saved for refining butter and frying hot pot ingredients later.

   

2. 2 1000g beef, cut into large pieces about 5-6 cm thick and 8-9 cm long. Soak in clean water for one hour to remove blood from the beef, changing the water twice in between.

   

3. 3 grams of cold water, add 3 slices of ginger, a spoonful of cooking wine, add beef and cook until the water in the pot boils and the beef blood foam floats on the water. Keep fishing out the foam, boil the pot and cook for 5 to 10 minutes.

   

4. 4 Remove and wash away any scum on the surface with warm water.

   

5. 5 Replace the water in the cast iron pot, add 3 slices of ginger, 6 dry red peppers, 1 head of garlic, 2 green onions, 6 rock sugar, 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, and 1 braised pork bun (not used) 20 peppercorns, 1 aniseed, 1 small piece of cinnamon, 3 bay leaves, and a little fennel)

   

6. 6 After the water is hot, add the meat pieces

   

7. 7 Simmer for 40 minutes and turn off the heat. It's good if the chopsticks can be gently pulled to pierce. If you cook it for too long, the meat will become chewy.

   

8. 8 Soak in broth for 6 hours or overnight in refrigerator.

   

9. 9 Strain out the spices and butter from the broth, clarify the soup, and soak the meat pieces back into the broth. The meat can be made into cold beef, and the soup can be used to cook beef noodles.
