I believe that some of my friends who prefer to eat beef may find that some beef, no matter how long it is cooked, will be sticky and hard. In fact, this is very normal. Yes, because with the loss of water in the meat of solid beef, you will find that the taste will be a bit woody, and some beef will be very hard when cooked. This is often some buffalo meat and old beef. Of course, it is also possible that the beef is not cooked yet. 1. The reason why beef is thick and hard
The fiber of beef is relatively thick, so it is difficult to cook it to pieces. If the beef you cook is thick and hard, then you should actually feel very happy. , because your beef is healthy beef. If the beef has not been processed and is cooked very soft, it often proves that it is feed-induced beef, which is not healthy. In other words, it is added with meat tenderizer, which will also cause its meat to be softer, but this additive obviously trades taste for our health. The beef is too woody and hard. It may be because the meat has not been cooked, or it has been cooked in some places with low air pressure, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Of course, this is an extreme situation. Generally speaking, from a health perspective, anything cooked The woody and tough beef is what we should choose. 2. Processing method
Although normal beef is cooked hard and woody, it does not mean that we cannot process it well. First of all, in terms of preliminary preparations, we can first soak the beef in water for half an hour until the blood is washed clean. Then beat it repeatedly with a wooden hammer to make the meat softer. Then we can use the pressure cooker and simmer it for half an hour, which can solve the problem of hard beef. However, in this process, the beef will lose its meat flavor. At this time, we need to add some wine, Vinegar, tangerine peel, and hawthorn slices are used to maintain the meaty aroma and remove the fishy smell.
Beef is still very nutritious for our bodies. If you like to eat it, you might as well try it. If you make it yourself, it is not only economical and economical, but also healthy and hygienic.
