3. Rinse the surface of the beef gym with water again, then put it in a large pot, re-inject an appropriate amount of water into the pot, and boil the pot over the heat, and use a spoon to skim off the scum that appears after the pig is boiled, turn off the heat and set aside.
4. Scrape off the outer skin of the ginger and cut it into larger slices of ginger, cut off the shallots and wash them, tie them together to make onion knots, peel the garlic and cut it into garlic slices, and put the ginger, shallots and garlic into the rice cooker together with star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves and peppercorns.

【Cooking Tips】:
1. Beef tendon meat is the meat with relatively firm beef legs, which is divided into front leg tendons and hind leg tendons, with slight differences in taste depending on the position: the meat quality of the front leg tendon meat is relatively tender and thin, but the hoof tendons are more distributed; The hind leg tendon meat is thicker and less distributed, so you can choose according to your personal taste and preference when buying beef tendons.
2. The size of fresh beef is relatively large, and the capacity of the rice cooker used at home is limited, so you can cut and blanch the beef in advance, which is not only easy to put into the pot, but also can fully soak the blood water in the meat; In addition to making the beef meat firm and shrinking and reducing the volume, blanching can also play a role in thoroughly cleaning the beef.
3. Before marinating beef tendon meat, it is best to spread the seasoning ingredients that can be used in the process of marinating meat on the bottom of the pot, and then put in the beef tendon meat, which can not only make the condiment fully heated and exude fragrance, but also prevent the beef tendon meat from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
