   Burgundy beef stew with red wine.
  In the plot of the halberd spirit, the pig's foot Xingping Chuangzhen made a lucky red wine stewed beef in the first class of Yuanyue, which was highly praised by the unsmiling teacher Roland Sharpel.
   Actually, this is a French home cooking.
  On fixed recipes, Burgundy beef stew with red wine actually has a lot of practices, depending on the chef's performance.
   Will Xia Yu make Burgundy beef stew with red wine?
   If it is other Western food, it must be a big question mark.
However, when Burgundy stewed beef with red wine, Xia Yu, as a big eater with a hands-on ability, naturally found the recipe in the appendix of the comic and worked hard for a long time. .
   What is more pitfall is that the Burgundy red beef stew made according to the comics does not taste good, and can even be evaluated as poor. At that time, Xia Yu thought about it and finally caught a key flaw in the comics recipe:
   No honey!
Later, by chance, at the same level of anime and food, I heard a French 2009 movie "Julie and Julia", and referring to the description of a lot of French cuisine in the film, it is considered a real Burgundy red wine stew beef , Successfully restored, taste the kind of praise.
   "Is everything prepared..."
  After washing his hands, wearing an apron and a kitchen hat, and completing a chef's basic etiquette, Xia Yu looked at the kitchen counter of the Western restaurant.
   Two large pieces of defrosted beef, this is the main ingredient.
   "[Beef shoulder meat], excellent quality, frozen for 8 hours and 56 minutes, fresh."
  Hand contact with beef, the kitchen system gives the ingredient identification information, green quality.
   "Beef shoulder? Yes, the meat in this position has fine fiber and smooth texture. It is suitable for stewing, roasting, braising and firing curry." Xia Yu murmured and looked away from other ingredients. "It's time to start!"
Snapped!
A thick chunk of beef was thrown on the chopping board. Xia Yu chose the sharpest kitchen knife on the kitchen knife holder. Using the index finger, and thumb, three fingers pinched the handle and blade. , Breathe slowly twice, hands up and down!
   The two chefs and Chef Xia Zhiqiu only saw the silver light flash by, and the beef on the chopping board did not seem to change at all.
   But Xia Yu's movement didn't stop, his right hand kept up and down, very regular, as if directing the band, the knife collided with the chopping board, and the sound was so pleasant.
   Chef Xia's face changed.
  He obviously remembered something, and fixedly stared at Xia Yu who was seriously dealing with beef. "...This sword skill... Is he a student of Yuanyue?"
   made him care that Xia Yu held the knife a bit strangely.
   has been staring at Xia Yu's handling of the two large chunks of beef. Chef Xia Zhiqiu is more puzzled.
Among the middle and higher students of Yuanyue, there may also be geniuses who possess this skill. However, this young man has the charm, calmness, and elegance of the chef who has been in charge for many years, which is not available to students who are still in the greenhouse. Is unique!
   At this moment, Chef Xia Zhiqiu was ashamed and reminisced.
   From Xia Yu's handling of ingredients, this kitchen seems to have changed hands, he can only be reduced to a helper watching.
   thought that he was also the arrogant of the cooking school. However, the competition in Yuanyue was too cruel, and there were very few graduates every year. He was eliminated in the second year of the Ministry of Higher Education and was judged to have no talent for chefs.
"All right!"
  Handle two large pieces of beef in one go. Xia Yu took bacon strips and cut them into very neat pieces.
   Next, throw bacon sticks of equal size into the pot and add water to cook. Xia Yu opened the gas stove and glanced, then turned his head and said, "Help me get the kitchen paper..."
   Chef Xia's Hill quickly handed the roll of kitchen paper.
  Moisture is a taboo in beef dishes, so the cut beef pieces must be squeezed to dry the water, then the kitchen paper comes in handy. Xia Yu's expression was serious, he constantly pulled out the kitchen paper, wrapped the pieces of beef, and squeezed repeatedly.
   But after all, the ingredients for six people, one person can't handle it, so Xia Yuqiu looked at the chef Xia Zhiqiu next to him, and there were two other young chefs, "Help together!"
After the beef has been drained, there are still many side dishes on the kitchen counter that have not been processed, such as carrots, mushrooms, parsley, Xia Yu handed over the side dishes to Chef Xia Zhiqiu, and he took the pan and hot pot After adding olive oil, start frying the bacon pieces taken from the pot.
  The bacon is fried to brown, and Xia Yu silently counts the time of frying, accurate to every second.
  Take the bacon, the lard from the pan is left in the pan, the fire of the gas stove is still burning, Xia Yu skillfully grabs the dehydrated beef with the kitchen utensils, and put it in the pan to fry.
   With deep-fried buzzing sounds, Xia Yu tumbled the beef pieces, making every side of the beef a beautiful dark brown.
   When you reach dark brown, it means you can get out of the pot.
  Temporarily put the fried beef pieces aside, Xia Yu reached out to the kitchen counter next to him, "Chopped carrots and big onions!"
   A young man hurriedly handed over the vegetable basket.
There is still some oil left in the wok, so no need to add oil. The vegetable basket is slanted. At the same time, carrots and large onions are thrown into the pan to stir fry. It is also different from overcooked. At that time, UU reading www.uukanshu. com can be out of the pot.
   Xia Yu poured carrots and large onions into the prepared cast iron saucepan, followed by dark brown beef, add salt and black pepper, the specific dosage depends on the chef's grasp.
   The two chefs opened their eyes wide.
   "Hey, is it really okay for him to put salt and pepper like this?" A helper was distraught when he saw Xia Yu's hand coming.
   "I think it's no problem!" His companion looked at Xia Yu's busy back, but he was full of admiration and envy. "He is a student of Yuanyue? Sure enough he is a talented person..."
   thought that he had studied cooking for a few years, and he was still a group of cooks. He couldn't do it alone. The young man bowed his head and held his fists in disbelief.
  After salt and pepper, it is a more important process.
   flour!
  Xia Yu grabbed a handful of flour and sprinkled it carefully on the beef and ingredients in the pot, so that a white coat was formed to lock the moisture of the beef and increase the viscosity of the soup.
  No more flour, just sprinkle a layer lightly, the next step is to stir.
   "Drip"
  The oven has been preheated to about 230 degrees. The cast iron pan is not covered. Put it in the oven and heat it for 4 minutes. Then take out the flour again and bake it for 4 minutes.
   took the cast iron pan out of the oven for the second time, and a strong fragrance filled the kitchen.
   But the cooking has not been completed.
  Various ingredients, parsley, crushed leaves, thyme...
  Finally, pour red wine to submerge most of the beef, add less boiled water, then put the cast iron pan on the gas stove and boil.
