Hello everyone
The (Chinese) New Year is approach. Uncle said we need to treat ourselves with something good for the New Year
So I bought this beef leg
Not a big one. We'll roast it this afternoon
It's a fresh one. The price was fair
As it's a leftover. I bought them all
We'll roast it, like how we roasted the pig last time
Yeah. It's very thick. You need to slice it, don't you?
I'll slice it with your butchering knife
Need to slice it well. Or it's hard to grill
The beef has been cleaned up. Let me slice it for a bit
For now
And marinate it after that
These two pieces are above the butt
The seller gave me for free, as there's not much meat
Honey, could you drive the chicken away?
The rooster also wants some meat
The meat is very thick here
I guess it weighs over 10 jin (jin = 500g)
This chunk of meat must be over 10cm thick. So I need to slice it first
Slicing to help flavor penentration
Slice with the grain first
Alright. Prepare the seasoning to marinate it
Let's do it simple
Just some ginger slices
You know, it's the New Year. We'll have something good at home for the New Year
We don't always have such luxuries
Also some scallions
Uncle said, it can be simpler. So we'll keep it simple
We didn't use up the BBQ seasonings last time when roasting the pig
So we can use them this time
After ginger and scallion, add some baijiu (liquor)
This is low alcohol baijiu
And also some salt. Not too much
Good
Rub it
Good. Marinate it for two hours
Now we'll light the charchol
We didn't use up the charcoal last time
So this time, let's use it up for the beef leg
Alright
Come on, uncle! Help me tie it
Kinda heavy, hub? At least 10 jin
Let me cut it for you
Cut it
I'll cut it here?
Eh, that's too long
Cut it here?
Now we are fixing the beef on the rack with some iron wire
Fix it well. If it falls, we are feeding the charcoal instead
Has it gone through?
Yeah
Let's slowly roast it like this for now
Isn't it too high?
Not high. It will burn if you lower it
Not kidding. Better be higher
Let it heat slowly
The water is coming out
Is it?
So fast
Look, it's dripping here
Oh yeah
Come here, Qi Erwa. Handle it
Flip it often
Be careful when you flip it
What if it falls?
Then we are not going to eat today
Uncle, look! The steam is roasted out
Look at that chicken! It wants to eat so much
The head keeps popping out
The skin has been tightened, uncle
I'm so anxious to flip it
If it falls, you'll be blamed
This part is too thick
Let's slice it later with your butchering knife
Tian Tian, come here! Watch daddy roast a beef leg
Watch the little dog
You want to watch the little dog?
Yes
The little dog has gone outside
Is this beef leg tasty?
Not tasty
Look, the oil drops
We can slice the cooked parts and eat
And wait for the raw parts to grill
So after every hour, I'll check the progress with you
It's going to take a long time, indeed
Eh, do we add chili later?
Yeah, I've prepared it. I've prepared spices
Do we need to add some fire here?
No
Tian Tian
Yes
Do you want to try?
Yes
Let daddy find a piece for you, OK?
OK
Smells good, right?
Yes
Is it hot?
Not hot. This piece is cooked
Is it tasty?
Tasty?
Huh
Looks good. That piece looks already done
Let me deal with the charcoal
Hmm, this part is done. Very tasty
Yeah, it's done
This part is all done
Is it?
Done
Maybe only the middle part isn't done yet
Cut a slice for Tian Tian
It's a bit hot
Is it hot?
Do it yourself, uncle?
Cut whatever you want to eat
Now brush the oil, the seasoning oil made by myself
Then we add some cumin and chili powder
Alright
Cumin first
Ya, quite tasty
Smells so good
I also want to eat it
You also want to eat it?
Wait a minute. Daddy will leave you some without chili
Alright, Tian Tian
It smells so good
Alright, good
It's hot
Have a try if it's still hot
Can we eat this tendon?
Yeah
I even want to use my hands
You can't tear it off, honey. Here, tendon
Hmm, good
Qi Erwa, come here
You've been drooling over there
Here, Qi Erwa
Could you give me a seat?
Give you a seat? Come here, come
Careful, don't be poked
It smells so good. So tasty
It's really tasty
Here, here
You can't tear it off. This part is also meat. Look!
Tasty, isn't it? This part is all tasty
Can we chop it off, uncle?
- Slice it off? - Just slice it
The tendon is crunchy
Just leave it there
Alright, let's slice it off and enjoy
That's all for this video
If you have time, you can try it at home
Beef is more expensive, though
It's tasty
Is it tasty?
Yeah
It is so tasty, mommy and daddy
Then you can enjoy more
That piece is yours. It's not spicy
