How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- You should choose meat that is bright red, has fine fibers, beautiful marbling, with light yellow fat, and when smelled, has the characteristic aroma of beef.
- Additionally, good beef will feel sticky to the touch and has a certain degree of elasticity when pressed lightly.
- Avoid buying meat that is dark red, with dark yellow fat, and coarse fibers as this indicates old cattle, which is usually tough and not palatable. If the meat is dark red, with white fat, and has a slightly fishy smell, it is likely beef that has been faked from buffalo meat.
- You can also buy pre-ground beef or grind it yourself using a meat grinder at home.
