Beef Tail Stew Ingredients- 2kg frozen beef tail
- 2 green onions
- 1 onion
- 10 cloves garlic
- 1 Tbsp coarse salt
- 3 bay leaves
- 30 black peppercorns
- 2 Tbsp sesame seeds
- 1 bottle store-bought cham sauce (soy-based dipping sauce)
- 1 bunch garlic chives
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
For the freshest taste, I’ve prepared 2kg of frozen Korean beef tail. The price difference isn’t significant compared to imported options, and you get excellent quality. To simultaneously thaw and remove blood, soak the beef tail in cold water for about 1 hour. This step is crucial for reducing any gamey odors.
Step 2
After soaking, rinse the beef tail thoroughly under running cold water. Carefully wash away any bone fragments or impurities that might remain. This ensures a clean and pure flavor.
Step 3
Now, let’s start the simmering process. Place the washed beef tail in a pot. Add 2 green onions, 1 onion, 10 cloves of garlic, 1 Tbsp coarse salt, 3 bay leaves, and 30 black peppercorns. Lightly crush the garlic and peppercorns to enhance their aroma. Cover with enough cold water to fully submerge the beef tail and simmer over high heat for approximately 2 hours.
Step 4
During the simmering, replenish the water with cold water if it reduces, ensuring the beef tail remains submerged. This step is vital for achieving a tender and moist texture. Boiling at high heat for 2 hours from the start will make the meat incredibly tender.
Step 5
While the beef tail is simmering, prepare the garlic chives, which will be served alongside. Wash the chives well and cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 5-7 cm long. Don’t be shy with the amount; more garlic chives add more flavor.
Step 6
You can create a delicious dipping sauce without complex ingredients. Prepare 1 bottle of store-bought cham sauce. Add about 1 ladleful of the beef tail cooking broth for added depth of flavor. Mix in 2 Tbsp of sesame seeds. This simple combination yields a wonderfully rich sauce.
Step 7
Once cooked, cut the beef tail into desired serving portions. Place it in a steamer and gently reheat it while serving for the best experience. Serve with the prepared garlic chives and the homemade dipping sauce. This dish is highly recommended for entertaining guests or for a special family meal. Enjoy your delicious meal today!
