What spices are used in beef stew? Sichuan pepper is still a big ingredient, remember to put 1 and 2 don't put it, and the taste is bad if you put it wrong

炖牛肉‬是‬放‬花椒‬还是大料，1放‬2不放‬又是‬什么

1. When stewing beef, you should choose a large ingredient (star anise). What beef likes most is the big ingredients, and what I don't like is peppercorns and cinnamon. The purpose of our beef stew is to have a beautiful flavor of meat, but if we put pepper and cinnamon in it, the stewed beef will taste particularly unpleasant, and the fishy smell will get worse, which is very bad. Many people say that beef should not be enlarged, but I don't know why.

2.1 Put star anise, the fishy smell of beef is relatively heavy, star anise can improve the smell of beef, add aromatic smell, and adjust the taste, increase appetite. In the process of boiling meat, the flavor of star anise will slowly penetrate into the meat, and the aroma can be fully hydrolyzed and dissolved into the meat, making the beef taste more mellow.

3.1不放‬花椒‬，花椒虽然是一种很好的香料，可以去腥，也可以促进食欲，它‬‬在很多菜肴里面都使用‬到，但炖牛肉的时候尽量不要放，因为‬花椒口感‬比较辛辣，带‬很强的麻辣味，不但‬会使牛肉的口感变差，腥味加重，还会遮盖‬住‬牛肉‬本身‬的‬鲜味‬，所以‬我们在‬炖牛肉‬的时候切记‬不要放‬花椒‬。

4.2 do not put cinnamon, cinnamon is the bark of laurel, the aroma will be heavier, the taste is sweet first and then spicy, it is easy to enter the beef, and fresh beef, itself has a delicious taste, cinnamon will make the beef lose its unique meat taste. In addition, the beef needs to be stewed for a long time, and the cinnamon stewed for a long time will not only affect the color of the beef broth, but also affect the taste of the ingredients, which will also affect the appetite.

The above is the reason why the beef stew should be enlarged and not put in peppercorns and cinnamon. Let's take a look at what spices can be added to beef stew.

炖牛肉‬还能‬放肉‬哪些‬香料‬

炖‬牛肉‬的时候，我们‬可以‬放入‬大料‬、香叶‬、草果‬、白芷‬、草寇‬、小茴香‬等‬，这些‬都‬具有‬去腥‬增香‬的‬作用‬，不要放入‬的‬香料品种‬过多‬‬。 在使用‬草果‬和‬草寇‬的时候，要去掉‬里面‬的籽‬，不然‬炖的‬肉‬会‬发苦‬。 And when stewing meat, you can place spices according to the fishy smell of meat, that is, if the meat is heavy, add more spices appropriately, and put less spices for light flavors, otherwise it will backfire. Let's take a look at the process of beef stew.

epilogue

炖牛肉‬的时候，我们‬可以根据‬肉的‬特性‬适当‬的加入‬自己‬喜欢香料‬，5-6味‬就‬可以‬了‬，不能‬随意‬的添加‬，那样‬炖煮‬出来‬的牛肉‬不但难吃‬而且‬腥味‬还会‬加重‬。 一般‬我们‬大火‬炖煮‬半个小时‬之后‬，可以‬挑‬出里面‬的料头‬，不要‬让‬料头‬味‬大没过‬肉味‬，然后‬放入‬电饭锅中‬再‬炖煮‬40分钟左右，这样‬炖出‬来的牛肉‬不但‬入味‬，而且‬软烂‬好吃‬。
