某茶聚中,一位太太帶來自家製牛肉乾,基絲汀嚐了一口,跟著不能停的,一口一口地吃下去。味道超讚,很掂。請教之下,原來自家製牛肉乾那麽容易簡單。卻比街外買回來的好,因為完全知道是用甚麽肉,下了甚麽調味,吃得放心。用的是澳洲超市或肉店很常見的 beef skirt (姑且翻譯作:『牛群肉』,是牛隻腹部橫隔膜處切出來的。) 此種扒薄身少脂肪。相對西冷扒或牛柳來說,肉質較實。西人不多吃,於是價錢便宜很多,但肉味夠。用來做牛肉乾,非常合適。如果大家找不到 beef skirt, 也可用牛腿肉等平價些的部份代替就可以了。
五香牛肉乾
準備時間: 10 分鐘
烹調時間: 135 分鐘
份量: 10人
材料:
做法:
準備時間: 10 分鐘
烹調時間: 135 分鐘
份量: 10人
材料:
- 牛肉(skirt steak 或用牛腿肉) 900克
- 薑 4至5片
- 豆豉粒(洗淨瀝乾水份,可先壓爛)約 1湯匙
- 八角 3至4粒
- 花椒 1茶匙
- 五香粉 1/2茶匙
- 新鮮紅辣椒(可用指天椒,或不用) 2 隻
- 生抽(醬油)2湯匙
- 老抽 2湯匙
- 冰糖 50克
- 紹酒 1湯匙
- 蜜糖 1湯匙
- 熱水 少許
做法:
- 牛肉洗淨,瀝乾水份。把刀斜放約 45度,橫紋切片。備用。
- 在鍋中放少許油,用中慢火把薑,豆豉,花椒,八角,五香粉炒香。
- 加牛肉入鍋中,轉大火炒勻,至表面轉色。下酒,生抽,老抽,拌勻。然後加冰糖。不用加水,因為牛肉會出水的。待煮滾後,轉慢火,加蓋,斜放打開小縫隙,煮約 45分鐘,或直至汁料收乾許多,牛肉變軟稔。自己試味。
- 用筷子或夾子把牛肉逐一排放在鋪了烘培紙(baking paper)的焗盤上面,放入已預熱至100C(210F)焗爐中,把牛肉焗至乾身,約 1½小時(時間視乎牛肉含水量而定)。
- 把蜜糖和少許熱水(不用太多,只需少許把蜜糖稍微稀釋,容易塗牛肉面)拌勻。塗在牛肉兩面,再放入焗爐焗多5至10分鐘,即成。放涼後,存放在密封的器皿中,可放入雪櫃中,保存一兩星期。
溫馨提示:
- 基絲汀做這牛肉乾橫紋切牛肉,因為喜歡肉質細緻些。但如想牛肉乾更有咬口的質感,可順牛肉的紋切,令牛肉的纖維長些。
- 加豆豉,除了增加牛肉滲透微微豉香外,還會增深顏色。有些牌子的豆豉頗鹹,自己要調節份量。
- 不吃辣的,可加入不辣的紅辣椒。但基絲汀覺得加了兩隻指天椒,增加微辣,更添風味。
花椒 3至4粒? whole piece or grounded powder??

從來都喜歡食牛肉乾,但想也未想過能夠自己做的。Christine 真多謝你這食譜!暑假家裏又有多些零食供應了。
回覆刪除如不吃牛肉,可用豬肉嗎?應該用什麼豬肉和多少份量?
回覆刪除Hi Christine,
回覆刪除请问五香粉几时下?
Thanks
@匿名:
回覆刪除噢,不好意思。
五香粉在第二步驟,跟薑,豆豉等等一齊下,炒香。
Hi, Christine..
回覆刪除谢谢你分享那么多好的食谱。。
看到你能煮一手好菜,真羡慕。。
我的烹饪很差,希望你的食谱可以多放图片指示,让我可以知道所需的材料和做法。。谢谢!
Hi there! thank you for the recipe it's great for people living abroad who cannot buy this stuff in chinatown!
回覆刪除I used the portions suggested but it seems it's too salty - can I add water in this case?
Also any idea how to do e.g. juicy beef jerky?
@匿名:
回覆刪除If you found the beef too salty, the sauce might've been cooked too long, and too dried up.
Next time you might like to try adding less soy sauce, or add more water, or cook to the point where you still have some sauce left in your pan. Then your beef won't be too salty and still keeps more moisture inside. It's very important to taste by yourself along the way you're cooking. Once you're satisfied with the taste of the beef, dish it up and transfer to oven.
Hope it helps. Let me know how it goes if you try again.
Hi Christine, I just found your site and will be trying many of your yummy creations. Have you tried the recipe with pork to make 'ju-yuk-gone'? Which cut of pork would you suggest? Thank you for sharing such wonderful Chinese recipes for us who are no longer living in HK. I don't have th tools to write Chinese on my computer, but you can reply in either Chinese or English. Thanks!
回覆刪除@Karen:
回覆刪除No problem. You're welcome to comment with either Chinese or English.
I haven't tried to make 'ju-yuk-gone' yet. But I know that pork mince is often used.
Hi Christine,
回覆刪除Thanks for sharing such a wonderful recipe. I have been reading your website for a while. It is a very good site to recommend. Tks~
Hey, Chicken Jerky is rather not common to find in the market. Would you like to teach us chicken jerky as well. I am looking forward to it~
BTW, I can't wait to try this beef jerky recipe tonight. However, I am wondering if there is no additional water required as you stated, how it can be cooked for so long, 45min. I am so curious about this part. Will see tonight.
Christine 你好。
回覆刪除今天又做了這個小吃,用了rumsteak,結果比上一次用skirt steak的效果遜色。
今次慢火煑45分鐘後,剩下一小杯(15cl)汁料,覺得它十分惹味,掉去覺得有奌可惜,你有建議嗎?
rumsteak 是短時間煮,例如煎,比較好。是貴價肉,有點可惜啊~
刪除如果有汁剩,可以用來撈麵,撈菜,醃全熟蛋等等。
你好,如果用豬肉或雞肉時間或溫度會有差別嗎?
回覆刪除會有差別。
刪除因豬肉,雞肉比較牛肉快稔。
花椒 1茶匙 is whole piece or grounded powder?
回覆刪除Hi Rita,
刪除Use the whole ones.
