Soy Sauce Flavored Beef

Soy Sauce Flavored Beef

Beef shoulder marinates overnight, then simmers in a rich paste of soybean and sweet sauces until sliceable and glossy. Deeply savory with a faint sweetness, it is a make-ahead centerpiece for cold platters.

    After buying the beef, soak it in cold water for an hour, then cut it into pieces. Add 8 tablespoons of light soy sauce, 4 tablespoons of dark soy sauce, slices of ginger, sections of green onion, and onion. Mix well by hand, cover with plastic wrap, and marinate in the refrigerator for more than 4 hours.

    Add oil to the pot and slowly stir-fry over low heat until fragrant. Add yellow soybean paste and sweet flour paste (I didn't have sweet flour paste at home, so I used soybean paste), and slowly stir-fry over low heat until aromatic. Then add water, using a bit more water.

    Food you make yourself tastes the best. What I bought here is Guizhou beef, a bit expensive at 89.9 yuan per jin, so I made only a small amount.
