Because the marinating time is very long, after putting the beef in the cold storage, I am busy with other things.

There is not much to do in the back kitchen, except for cooking or cooking.

When Xu Zhuo plans to cook, he basically only makes dishes with skills, and he generally doesn't cook dishes without skills.

Although you may be able to eat it if you make it, after all, without the blessing of the system, even if you don't overturn, you will definitely not be able to master the delicious dishes.

After all, it is related to one's own personality, and you can't be careless.

was busy in the back kitchen until half past eight in the evening, and Xu Zhuo walked out of the kitchen soaking wet.

Although this busy work made him sweat all over, and he was tired, and even his shoulders were a little sore, but his heart was very comfortable and steady.

Maybe he was born with a hard life, and when he was in Yangzhou, he stayed in the villa every day, but he was uncomfortable, and he didn't even eat much.

But today, after a few hours in the kitchen and sweating profusely, I suddenly felt refreshed.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, when the noon peak had ended, Cao Kun strolled over: "Xu Zhuo, don't forget those beef, I turned it once when I left last night, and I turned it again when I came this morning, for fear that the marinade would not be uniform enough." ”

After listening to Cao Kun's words, Xu Zhuo was a little ashamed.

Originally, this was his job, but because he was busy, he forgot all about it.

Fortunately, Cao Kun is here, otherwise those beef may really overturn due to uneven marinating.

When he came to the cold storage, Xu Zhuo tore off the plastic wrap and found that the beef had completely changed color.

Yesterday, the tendon meat was ruddy in color, and the fascia inside was white, and you could tell at a glance that it was fresh beef.

Now, the beef has turned black, and the meat has lost its elasticity, slightly hard, and feels like meat that has been left over for a long time.

Not only that, but the cooking wine and light soy sauce that were poured in yesterday are also much less at this time.

When I first poured it in, the soy sauce and cooking wine almost covered the meat, but now only a few were left at the bottom, and it looked a lot thicker.

Obviously, most of this sauce has already been absorbed by the beef.

Next, it's time to marinate.

This step is very easy, after Xu Zhuo took the basin out of the cold storage, he directly brought a soup bucket.

It is stronger to use a soup bucket to make lo-mei than to use a pot, because the soup bucket is relatively deep, and the ingredients can be completely soaked in the braised soup without uneven raw and cooked dishes.

However, there is a precaution for marinating pork in a soup bucket, that is, you must put a grate at the bottom of the pot to prevent the meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Xu Zhuo took a grate and put it into a clean soup bucket, then put the marinated beef into it, and then poured all the remaining soup and marinade from the bottom of the basin into it.

Then, he added a dozen catties of water to the soup bucket.

There is a trick to making braised beef, which is to add a few catties of meat to a few catties of water.

This can not only ensure that the braised soup is sufficient, but also will not make the braised soup taste too light.

The beef tendon meat must be marinated in a pot under cold water, and before marinating, it must not be blanched, otherwise the beef will become a hard lump, which is not only unpalatable, but also the taste cannot be immersed.

After the fire, Xu Zhuo took some sweet noodle sauce, soybean sauce and tofu milk, Cao Kun looked at these ingredients and asked Xu Zhuo curiously: "Do you want to put these?"

Xu Zhuo nodded: "Yes, the main thing is to enrich the sauce flavor of beef, and the sauce flavor of light soy sauce is too thin and has no aftertaste." ”

Cao Kun only understood at this time, what was wrong with his approach.

In a word, there is not enough material to put in.

However, if these three sauces are put together, Cao Kun always feels that the meat is a little salty.

"Brother Kun, you're too worried, you will only put a little bit of these three, we just need a sauce flavor, but we won't put more. ”

Xu Zhuo explained a few sentences to Cao Kun, and stood next to the stove, waiting for the soup pot to boil.

Cao Kun originally wanted to ask Xu Zhuo why he didn't put the sauce, but as soon as he saw the fine mesh sieve in Xu Zhuo's hand, he understood that Xu Zhuo was going to make foam.

Sure enough, after the braised soup in the soup pot boiled, Xu Zhuo took the fine mesh sieve and began to carefully skim off the foam on the surface of the braised soup, and after cleaning up, he began to put the sauce.

1 tablespoon soybean paste, 1 tablespoon sweet noodle paste, 2 small pieces of tofu.

After putting all this, he added a little maltose to the pot.

Stir it with a spoon to stir the ingredients in the pot as much as possible, and then Xu Zhuo turned down the heat to keep the braised soup in the pot in a state that could not be opened.

The so-called stuffy marinade is a marinated method that keeps the marinated soup in a slightly boiling state, and most of the marinated meat belongs to a kind of stuffy marinade, or it is better to make it in a stuffy way.

If you keep boiling it on high heat, so that the braised soup in the pot is always boiling, the braised meat should not be too delicious.

Because when the braised soup is boiling, this impact will take away the moisture in the meat, making the meat in the pot harder and harder.

The whole marinating process takes an hour and a half, so Xu Zhuo finished all this work and went out to play with his mobile phone and drink Coke, after all, he had to seize this rare rest time to rest for a while.

But Cao Kun stayed by the pot, taking the temperature of the kitchen to measure the temperature of the braised soup for a while, and scooping a little braised soup with a spoon to taste the taste, and the whole person was full of curiosity.

From marinating to marinating, Xu Zhuo didn't put any salt at all, but the light soy sauce has a salty taste, and the yellow sauce, sweet noodle sauce and tofu milk also contain salt, so overall, the taste of this meat is not too light.

But because of the addition of ten catties of water, these salts have been diluted a lot, anyway, Cao Kun tasted it three times, and he felt that the taste of the braised soup was very good.

The sauce is rich but not too salty, and the sauce beef that comes out of this way should be just right.

He took the pen and recalled the process of Xu Zhuo's production, and then wrote down the recipe for the sauced beef.

After remembering it, he wrote down some of his feelings about the sauce beef, which can be regarded as deepening his memory.

An hour and a half later, Xu Zhuo came to the kitchen and turned off the fire.

However, after closing it, he remembered that his behavior might be a little too arbitrary, so he took a chopstick and inserted it into the meat to check the situation.

The chopsticks were inserted with a little effort, and after pulling it out, there was no blood oozing, but a smell of sauce could be smelled, which indicated that the meat had been cooked thoroughly.

However, if you want the sauce beef to be delicious, you have to continue to soak it in the marinated soup.

Xu Zhuo did not take the beef out of the soup bucket, but continued to soak in the braised soup.

At this time, Cao Kun didn't ask anymore, because he knew that he would wait until the braised soup in the pot cooled down naturally before he would take the beef out of the braised soup.

This is a more common way to marinate beef, in order to make the beef more flavorful.

Whether this method is delicious or not, Cao Kun thinks he will be able to see before he gets off work tonight.

If you can, you will be using this way to marinate beef from tomorrow, and if not, you will continue to think about it.

Anyway, Xu Zhuo had already given him too much inspiration this time, even if he meditated hard, Cao Kun felt that he could figure out how to make beef delicious.

Ahem, it should ......
