Simplest Beef Soup (牛肉清汤)
牛肉清汤 (Qing Tang Niu Rou)
Making delicious beef dishes always takes some extra effort or technique, this is because beef's texture is so different from chicken and pork. For example, chicken or pork soup does not usually need to preboil the meat, however, for beef soup, because beef meat has lots of blood content, it requires preboiling and removing the bloody foam.
The resulting soup is very clear, that is why it is called "清汤", which means "clear soup". It can be eaten as a dish on its own, just put soup and beef chunk to a bowl, sprinkle salt and black pepper. It can also be a great stock for lots of noodle dishes. Stay tuned, more fun beef soup based recipes are coming !
