- Choose meat that is bright red, not dark red, and the beef fat should be light yellow.
- It is better to select small and tender pieces of meat, with fine grain, and when pressed, they should have good elasticity.

Prepare and Bake the Potatoes
Wash the potatoes thoroughly with water, using your hands to gently scrub around the tuber to remove dirt and dust.
