Cut 700g of beef into pieces

Put the beef in a pot, add a tablespoon of cooking wine, boil water and cook for two minutes to remove blood foam

Prepare the ingredients as shown in the picture: bay leaves, star anise, cinnamon, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and dried chili peppers

Add a little oil to the pot, first add Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant, then remove them, and then add a tablespoon of Douban sauce to stir-fry until the oil turns red

Then add ginger slices, star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, and dried chili peppers and continue to stir-fry until fragrant

Add the blanched beef and a tablespoon of spicy sauce

Add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce and stir-fry until the beef is colored

Put the stir-fried beef into a pressure cooker, add enough water to cover the beef, and cook on low heat for 15 minutes after the pressure cooker starts to release steam. The beef is cooked at this point.
