When eating beef, although it looks very similar to beef, some parts of the beef are actually fake beef. This type of beef is very cheap and practical, with a texture similar to ordinary beef, making it hard to distinguish between real and fake. It is better to buy fresh beef and make it yourself. This way, you can enjoy authentic beef and feel more at ease.

Materials

Main ingredient: 1 pound of beef (ask the butcher for the part to be stir-fried).

Seasonings: a, pepper powder, ginger slices, cumin, b, cooking wine, salt, sugar, soy sauce, pepper powder.

Method

1. Clean the beef, cut into strips 5cm long and 2cm wide (three-quarters of the length of the index finger).

2. Add seasoning b and stir well.

3. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to marinate for more than 5 hours.

4. After marinating, add a little starch and stir well.

5. Carefully pour into the rice pot, and use chopsticks to flatten the surface a bit.

6. Close the lid, press the cooking rice button, wait until it jumps to the保温 mode and simmer for a few minutes, then stir again, and repeat this process until the water is completely dry.

7. Wait until the cooking rice button can no longer be pressed, open the lid, press the cooking rice button with one hand while holding it tightly, and use chopsticks to stir continuously with the other hand.

8. Stir until the beef is dry, with no visible moisture, then add ginger slices, pepper powder, and cumin.

9. Continue to press the cooking rice button with one hand while stirring continuously with the other, ensuring that the beef is completely dry.

10. Use a sieve to remove the pepper powder and other impurities, and it can be eaten as a snack after cooling.

Little Tips

1. It is best to use meat without tendons to make this beef jerky, otherwise it may be hard to chew;

2. Make sure the water is completely evaporated, which is considered a success;

3. Do not add too much salt, as the marinating time is relatively long and it is afraid that it will be too salty;

4. Only a little starch should be added, or it can be omitted altogether, as too much starch will easily make the beef jerky lose its chewiness;

5. The amount of seasoning is not detailed, just add according to personal taste.
