2 Tips for Selecting Fresh and Tender Beef

Fresh beef should have a red color, white or slightly yellow fat, and small meat fibers. The smaller the meat fibers and the whiter the fat, the more tender the meat, indicating that it comes from young cattle.

Fake beef made from pork or buffalo tends to have a darker color. When cut, the color of the meat inside and outside is inconsistent if fake beef is dyed with beef blood.

High-quality beef is tender, less elastic, and has a slightly dry surface. Fake meat, on the other hand, may leave color on the hands when touched, has a sticky surface, and emits an unpleasant smell of blood if it is dyed.

When purchasing beef, it is advisable to buy from reputable meat stores to ensure cleanliness, freshness, and high quality.

3 Tips for Properly Eating and Preserving Beef

When storing beef in the refrigerator, avoid rinsing it with water as it can freeze and result in tough meat.

Wrap the meat in multiple layers of plastic wrap before storing it to prevent freezing and to prevent the smell of raw beef from spreading to other foods.

Whole cuts of beef can be stored for longer periods.

Chilled beef can be used within 4 days, ground beef within 2 days. Frozen chilled beef can be stored for up to 6 months, ground beef for 2 months, and processed beef for 8 months.
