2. Rinse the beef, drain the water and cut it into large pieces. Serve with potatoes. You can also put radishes.
3. Peel and wash the two potatoes, and cut the potatoes into large pieces. pieces, smash a few garlic cloves. Cut the onions into slices, ginger slices, and mince the garlic.
4. Blanch the beef in a pot under cold water, add some cooking wine,
. After boiling the pot, skim off the foam, blanch for two minutes, then remove and drain. The second key point is to retain the original soup of the beef.
5. Put less oil in the pan and add sugar to stir-fry the sugar color. Don’t think that adding too much sugar will make it very sweet. In fact, the sugar color will not be so sweet after frying. Stir-fry the sugar until it becomes sesame oil color and then continue to stir-fry. The chicken will turn blood red
6. Add the beef and stir-fry. At this time, we will add some oil. Because the fat part of the beef is relatively small, let us moisten the beef again.
Then add two star anise, a few Sichuan peppercorns, and green onion and ginger. Fry the mushrooms in garlic and chili water, stir-fry until the aroma comes out.
7. Look at the color of the sugar-colored meat wrapped in it. Stir-fry and add cooking wine.

9. When the time is up, open the lid of the pot, put the fried potatoes into the pot and simmer for another 5 minutes.
After the potatoes are flavored, the juice will be reduced over high heat. Because they are fried to the color of sugar during cooking, the more the juice is absorbed, the brighter the color will be.
10. The braised dishes need to be thickened with water starch. When the soup is evenly coated with the beef, you can take it out of the pot and put it on the plate.
