The saying goes well, the meat is fragrant, and the soup is all used. After repeated repeated use, the old stewed soup has absorbed the essence of the meat dish, and the fragrance is very mellow.

Step1:Remove the old brine from the refrigerator in advance. How to make and preserve the old brine? In fact, it's very simple to filter the brine through a filter every time after the completion of the brine. Collect it, store it in the refrigerator freezer, and then take it out when you want to marinate it next time, and add some soy sauce. Ginger and onion spices, rock sugar and water. After reusing it for several times, the brine will become more and more mellow and fragrant. This is the old brine. The longer the old brine is preserved, The stronger the flavor, the greater the flavor, and the more delicious and rich the cooked meat flavor. It doesn't matter if there's no old brine.

The water should be enough to cover the beef pieces.

Step7:Take out the cooked beef pieces, drain the water, cool them at room temperature and air dry them for two hours, which can make the sauce beef taste more compact and strong.
