Beef on fire in a cauldron in Chinese

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to cook beef over a fire in a cauldron? Which part of the carcass is better to use? For the recipe, take fresh beef pulp. A sirloin without streaks or entrecotes will do well. Cut out the veins and the film from the meat, if any. Cut the pulp with a thin sharp knife into small pieces of small thickness.

2. Step 2:

   

   To make it easier to cut the meat, send it to the freezer for a while so that the fillet is slightly frozen, and then easily cut the beef into the same small pieces.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the rest of the ingredients as well. I used onions, bell peppers and garlic. If desired, you can take hot capsicum (our dish was designed for children, so this time we did without it).

4. Step 4:

   

   Peel the onion and garlic. Rinse them and pepper in clean water. Cut the peppers into two parts and remove the seeds with stalks. I used several pieces of very small onions in the recipe for the beauty of serving the finished dish.

5. Step 5:

   

   Light a fire, put the cauldron to heat up.

6. Step 6:

   

   At this time, chop the vegetables. Cut the pepper into thin strips, and the onion into half rings.

7. Step 7:

   

   Prepare the refueling. Mix soy sauce, starch, salt and sugar.

8. Step 8:

   

   Pour vegetable oil into the cauldron and heat it. Coat the edges of the cauldron with oil so that during further frying the pieces of meat do not stick to the walls of the dishes. Keep the fire under the cauldron at maximum.

10. Step 9:

    

    Send the meat to the cauldron and cook it constantly stirring until golden sides appear on each piece (from 10 to 15 minutes).

11. Step 10:

    

    Next, make a fire under the cauldron slightly below average and fry the meat until cooked, stirring occasionally. Since the pieces are small, they will cook quickly (it took me about 15 minutes).

12. Step 11:

    

    Add wood to the fire, make the fire strong. Send the pepper, onion and garlic to the cauldron.

13. Step 12:

    

    Stir-fry everything together for about 5-10 minutes.

14. Step 13:

    

    Pour the sauce into the cauldron, while stirring the dish intensively so that the sauce is evenly distributed over all the pieces.

15. Step 14:

    

    Cook until the sauce thickens, it will take quite a bit of time. Beef is ready, you can serve!

16. Step 15:

    

    When serving, invite everyone to sprinkle the meat with finely chopped green onions or other herbs.
