The beef tendon may not be a common ingredient in Western cultures, but it is loved for its luxurious textures and health benefits in Japanese and many Asian cuisines. People who enjoy beef tendon appreciate the soft-tender texture and the rich flavors. They are high in collagens, which is good for your skin, joints, and hair. Tendons are tough and fibrous but become tender after a long period of cooking.

With the use of a pressure cooker, the cooking process can be shortened without compromising the perfect texture and delicious flavors of this beef tendon. Properly cooked beef tendons contribute wonderful flavors to the final dish, with deep and rich broth and tendons that literally melt in your mouth. Beef tendon stew is prepared first by boiling and simmering, and only after properly prepped, they are stewed in a soy sauce based savory dashi broth with daikon.

To start cooking, boil the beef tendons until soft then simmer the tendons with aromatics like ginger and green onions. To achieve the tenderness you’re looking for in shorter cooking time, a pressure cooker comes in handy and makes sure these tendons come out soft fro the pressure cooker before you begin to fry them.
