3. Tips for a Delicious and Tender Lemongrass Chili Beef Tendon Dish
During the process of preparing lemongrass chili beef tendons, to make the dish more delicious and avoid toughness, consider the following tips:
- Firstly, when selecting tendons, choose ones with a pink or light yellow color (these are the tendons from the neck area of the cow). Press them to ensure they are soft and have a certain firmness for better cooking. Avoid tendons that have changed color, are dry, light, and have an unusual odor.
- In case the beef tendons are tough or if you buy live tendons to process yourself, eliminate the cow's odor by using a mixture of vinegar (or lime) and salt. Then, boil them with various spices such as ginger, lemongrass, salt, broth powder, etc., to add fragrance and ease of slicing. Additionally, if the tendons are too tough, boiling them with pineapple is a solution to soften them and save time.
- Since beef tendons are challenging to slice, if your kitchen lacks a sharp tool, consider asking the seller to help with slicing or buy pre-sliced tendons.
