Notes

Ingredients:
  • Beef brisket (牛腩) - 200g
  • Celery - a suitable amount
  • Carrots - 4 slices
  • Tomatoes - 2
  • Chicken broth - a suitable amount
Instructions:
  1. Blanch the beef in cold water and set aside.
  2. In a clay pot, add the beef and pour in water at 50 degrees Celsius until it covers 2/3 of the beef. Add Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, orange peel, and remember not to add salty seasonings like salt or soy sauce.
  3. Cook over medium heat for 60-100 minutes, ensuring the water doesn't dry out.
  4. After about 100 minutes, add the carrots to the beef pot.
  5. Cook on medium-low heat for another 30 minutes.
  6. Pour in a suitable amount of chicken broth.
  7. Continue cooking until the beef is fragrant, tender, and satisfyingly savory.
  8. Remember to blanch the beef brisket in cold water to remove froth. Add soy sauce and oyster sauce after 60 minutes, and salt after 100 minutes. Add carrots only in the last 30 minutes.
