Autumn is a season when men tend to be weaker. Beef soup is the most nourishing soup for the winter season. So what soup should men drink in autumn to nourish their bodies? Let me analyze it for you.
How to eat beef for the best strengthening and nourishing effects
1. Winter Melon and Goji Berry Beef Soup
Ingredients: Beef, ginger, green onion, winter melon, goji berries, cooking wine, salt, pepper, cilantro.
Instructions: Clean the beef and cut it into cubes. Blanch the beef in boiling water with ginger and green onion, then rinse it to remove any blood. Peel and remove the seeds of the winter melon, then slice it thinly. Rinse the goji berries with warm water and drain. Fill a pot with enough water, add the beef, and bring it to a boil. Skim off any impurities, then add ginger slices, cooking wine, and green onion. Boil on high heat, then simmer on low heat for at least 1 hour. Add the winter melon slices and goji berries, and simmer on medium heat for 10 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and chopped cilantro.
2. Spicy and Sour Pineapple Beef Soup
Ingredients: 200g beef, 200g pineapple, 100g rice vinegar, broth, salt, chili powder, hot chili oil, monosodium glutamate, pepper, sugar, minced garlic, ginger juice, as needed.
Instructions: Wash the beef and chop it into minced meat. Put it in a bowl and mix it with a small amount of cold water to form a paste (to prevent it from clumping when heated). Cut the pineapple into small cubes. Heat a soup pot and add the broth. Once it boils, add the minced beef and quickly stir it with a spoon. After it boils again, skim off any foam and add the pineapple cubes, rice vinegar, salt, chili powder, hot chili oil, monosodium glutamate, pepper, sugar, minced garlic, and ginger juice. Once it boils again, pour it into a large soup bowl and it's ready to serve.
3. Pumpkin Beef Soup
Ingredients: 20 tablespoons of broth, 1 teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of salt, 250g beef, 500g pumpkin, 2 stalks of scallions, 1 piece of ginger.
Instructions: Peel the pumpkin and cut it into approximately 3cm-sized cubes. Wash and lightly crush the ginger. Wash and tie the scallions into a knot. Remove the membranes from the beef and wash it, then cut it into approximately 2cm-sized cubes. Blanch the beef in boiling water for a moment, then put it into a pot and add the broth. Once the beef is cooked, add the pumpkin cubes, ginger, and tied scallions. Cook until the beef is tender, then season with pepper and salt.
