Stir-fried shredded beef with coriander
Overview
Stir-fried shredded beef is a home-cooked dish. The taste you want and the ingredients you want to pair it with are secondary. The key is to stir-fry it to a tender and smooth texture. Whether it is a banquet or a home-cooked meal, serving a plate of tender, smooth and refreshing shredded beef will definitely impress people and greatly enhance the popularity of the cook. How can you make shredded beef tender, smooth and delicious? In fact, it is not difficult. If you master the following three key points, even a novice in the kitchen can easily handle it - first, the beef is marinated in advance to add flavor, and the two marinades must be mastered. The first is dry starch. The main thing is to control the dosage. If you use too much, the shredded beef will be sticky and have neither appearance nor taste. If you use too little, it will not tenderize the meat. Generally, 1/3 to 1/2 teaspoon of dry starch is more appropriate for 300g of shredded beef. Second, a tablespoon of raw oil must be added at the end. This spoonful of raw oil is the key to ensuring the tenderness of the shredded beef. In jargon, this is called confit, which means using raw oil to coat the shredded beef with a film to reduce water loss and make the fried beef naturally tender and smooth. Secondly, adjust the seasonings before frying and add them all at once during the frying process. To ensure that the shredded beef is tender and smooth, it must be fried quickly. Once the frying time is too long, the shredded beef will become stale. Therefore, there is no room for adding seasonings bit by bit. It is necessary to adjust all the seasonings in advance; thirdly, stir-fry quickly and control the heat. This is the basic requirement for stir-frying crispy and tender dishes. Stir-frying beef also depends on the heat. You only need to stir-fry the key points for a few times. If you hesitate for a moment, the meat will become old. Let’s demonstrate it——
