Choose beef

You can look at the color to determine if the meat is good or not. Good beef is usually fresh red in color, when pressed with your hand, the meat has high elasticity, not sticky, and has no unpleasant odor. Conversely, beef that has cooled (left for a long time) is usually darker in color, when pressed with your hand, the meat has no elasticity, sticky, and has an unpleasant smell when smelled.

To cut beautiful beef

To slice the beef thin and beautiful, put them in the refrigerator freezer compartment, or fry them briefly in oil to slightly harden the meat, then you can slice easily and quickly.

To tenderize beef quickly

For dishes like braised beef, beef stew, to tenderize the meat quickly, the simplest way is to add a little rice vinegar or pineapple to the pot when cooking.

To make beef fragrant

Some people don’t like to eat beef because of its strong smell, to make the beef more fragrant, marinate it with a little red wine or white wine along with spices such as garlic, ginger, cloves… before cooking.
