How to Cook Tender and Delicious Beef in Red Wine Sauce Quickly
Step 1: Prepare the beef
After purchasing the beef, rub it with salt and let it sit for 5 minutes before rinsing it with clean water and patting it dry. Then, cut the beef into bite-sized cubes, approximately 1.5 finger lengths.
Step 2: Prepare the other ingredients
Take one tomato, wash it, and dice it. Peel and chop one onion into cau-shaped pieces. Peel and mince four cloves of garlic, dividing it into two portions. Peel and finely chop a small piece of ginger root. Peel and cut the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3: Marinate the beef
In a bowl, combine the beef with one tablespoon each of MSG and seasoning powder, half a tablespoon of salt and pepper, one tablespoon of sugar, five grams of red wine sauce mix, and half the amount of minced garlic and ginger. Mix well and marinate for about an hour, covered with plastic wrap.
Step 4: Cook the beef in red wine sauce
Heat a pan over the stove and add three tablespoons of oil. When the oil is hot, add half the amount of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the marinated beef and stir-fry for about two minutes over high heat. Pour in the red wine and add the tomatoes, continuing to cook for another two minutes before turning off the heat. Transfer the contents of the pan into a pressure cooker, along with half a tablespoon of salt, two cinnamon sticks, and 700ml of water. Cover and cook for 20-30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, release the pressure valve to reduce the temperature. Add the potatoes and carrots to the cooker. In a separate bowl, mix two tablespoons of cornstarch with 30ml of water until dissolved, then pour it into the cooker. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
Step 5: Serve
Using a pressure cooker significantly reduces the cooking time while retaining the delicious flavors of the dish. The beef will be tender and infused with the flavors of the wine and spices. Enjoy the mouthwatering aroma and tasty stew!
