Cooking StepsHow to cook Pressure Cooker Braised Beef (Tender & Fall-Apart) step by step
-
Step 1 DetailPrepare ginger slices, garlic cloves, and scallion segments. Cut the beef into 2 cm cubes.
-
Step 2 DetailSoak the beef in cold water for 30 minutes to draw out blood (for halal preparation, use fresh beef without soaking — the blood adds richness. Adjust based on your preference.)
-
Step 3 DetailPrepare the spices. Cloves are key — use just 2 pieces, they make the beef incredibly aromatic.
-
Step 4 DetailPlace the soaked beef in a pot with enough cold water — add enough at once, do NOT add water later! Add scallion segments, ginger slices, and 3 tbsp Shaoxing wine to remove any gamey flavor.
-
-
Step 6 DetailTransfer everything (meat and broth) to a pressure cooker. Add all the seasonings and spices. Note: add fresh ginger, scallion, and garlic cloves again for aroma. Pressure cook for 50 minutes. (Works the same with a regular pot or pressure cooker.)
