This is probably the most suitable big meat dish I have ever eaten for summer ~
The temperature of 40 degrees in Beijing for several consecutive days has caused people's appetite to decrease rapidly, especially the desire for meat has almost turned to zero. However, if carnivores do not touch meat for several days, they feel a little uncomfortable.
A few days ago, I saw netizen LydiaC (@ptt) sharing the recipe for this dish. I wanted to eat it when I saw it! I told the man every day that I wanted to make this dish, I wanted to make this dish! It seems that I had a fate with this dish in my past life. Yesterday afternoon, I finally had half a day free. I was not afraid of the high temperature and sunshine, and rushed to the vegetable market to buy beef. When I got home, I didn't even have time to take a bath. My whole body was sticky and smelly. I started to wash the beef, cut the beef, prepare the ingredients, and wait for my husband to come out after the shower to help me take pictures. I don't know if it was the grudge in my previous life, or if I really wanted to eat meat so much... In short, I just wanted to eat this dish urgently.
It took me more than three hours to finally eat this dish. I was so happy to eat it with rice!! And after eating it, there was no greasy feeling in the meat, whether in the mouth or in the stomach. It was clear and refreshing. At this time, I suddenly felt that lemon was so great

1. When stewing or braising during hot weather, remember to turn on the range hood to speed up the expulsion of heat. It is also necessary to close the kitchen door to prevent the heat from spreading to the living room, which might make you lose your appetite before the food is even ready.
2. You can taste the dish before turning off the heat. If it is too sour, add a little sugar, but be careful not to add too much, otherwise it will turn into sweet and sour beef. The lemon I used this time was very large, so the broth tasted quite sour. I added two small teaspoons of sugar to neutralize the acidity, without making it taste sweet.
3. Sprinkle some lemon zest before eating; it will taste even better~
