There’s no story to it. I just watched my mom make sweet and sour pork and had the idea to replace the pork ribs with beef. So I made sweet and sour beef.

Does sour cream tenderize beef?

It’s OK.
Yogurt contains enzymes that partially break down the elastin in beef, which serves to improve the flavor.

At the same time, it is also tantamount to putting thin clothes on the beef to prevent the high oil temperature from making it lose the moisture inside.

Under the action of high temperature, the lactic acid bacteria in yogurt has lost its activity and the sour flavor is gone, so there is no need to worry about the flavor of the beef being affected. At this point, no matter how it is fried or stir-fried, the beef is tender.

Should you cover ground beef when cooking?

To cover. It prevents excessive moisture loss and keeps the heat up so the beef is easier to tenderize.”

Equipment

1 pot
1 induction cooker
1 Stir frying spoon

Ingredients

50 grams sugar
5 spoons vinegar
300～500 g beef
3 spoons Cornstarch

Instructions

Wash the beef
Boil water until medium rare (it looks cooked, but it is still a little raw)
Just find a clean container and put it in it
Add cornstarch and mix well
Clean the pot, heat up the oil, and fry the beef until it is slightly brown (about 5 minutes) and take it out.
Pour the prepared juice (a mixture of sugar, cornstarch, and vinegar) into the pot and cook until it bubbles. Add the fried beef.
Stir well and serve

Notes

Yes, a spoonful of raw powder is also added to the sweet and sour sauce. It is best to adjust the sauce before cooking the beef, because I am too busy to take pictures of the specific steps of the sauce. I personally think that it is better to add body powder. When I did not find raw powder, I used flour (the effect is naturally not as good as raw powder). It's a bit sad, it looks as delicious as it was in my notes (probably because I used flour)
