Canadian netizens recommended two types of hot pot beef from Costco. Angus beef rolls can be eaten straight out of the pot, while thinly sliced beef shoulder blades are made more tender after marinating. This prompted netizens to share their experiences on buying and marinating meat.
As the weather gets cooler, many people start preparing hot pot at home. A Canadian Xiaohongshu netizen “Vans Series Lily” shared,costco (costco ) There are two types of beef suitable for use as hot pot ingredients. One can be boiled directly after unpacking, and the other can be easily marinated to obtain a soft and smooth texture. After the post was exposed, netizens discussed the softness of each part and how to buy it.
Lily first recommends the Costco Angus Beef Rolls. The beef is thick and lean, with a distinct ice cube texture. It can be poured directly into the hot pot without additional processing. The cooked meat has a rich aroma and is served with garlic sauce. It is suitable for those who like oily aroma and convenient cooking.
The second is the Kirkland Beef Shoulder Boneless Blade. Although the beef is cut into thin slices, Lily is used to first marinate it into tender beef and then simmer it in a hot pot to improve the flavor of the shoulder blade.
Taking 500 grams of beef as an example, the marinade contains 20 milliliters of soy sauce (light soy sauce), 10 milliliters of oyster sauce, 2 grams of white pepper, 20 grams of corn starch, 1 egg white, 20 milliliters of cooking oil, 50 milliliters of onion and ginger water, and 1.5 grams of baking soda.
When preparing, first add soy sauce, oyster sauce and white pepper to the beef and mix well, then add green onion and ginger water in small amounts several times and stir until the water is completely absorbed by the meat. Then add egg white and cornstarch, mix well, and finally add cooking oil to maintain moisture, then put it in the refrigerator to marinate for 20 to 30 minutes. Processed beef feels soft and smooth after cooking, and is perfect for pairing with pots of spicy, buttery or clear soups.
Some netizens in the comment area reminded that the quality and softness of the boneless blade sometimes must be left to chance. If the meat is too woody, the flavor may be affected if the shabu-shabu cooking time is longer. Some people also suggest that instead of adding soy sauce and oyster sauce, use salt, sugar or umami seasoning, so that the color of the marinated beef will be more refreshing.
Other netizens recommended thinly sliced ribeye and thinly sliced Wagyu beef that are sometimes available at Costco, as well as slightly frozen chuck roast before cutting, believing that these cuts are also suitable for hot pot. As for the hot pot base, Lily uses the Qiaotou base and adds homemade butter and spice oil to enhance the aroma.
