How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- To choose good beef, you should observe the color of the meat. Good meat usually has a bright red color, not dark red, and the beef fat is light yellow.
- You should choose small and tender pieces of meat, with fine fibers, and when you press it, it has good elasticity.
- If you see small white nodules that easily come off the meat, it is likely to be a parasite, so you should not buy it.
- Avoid buying small pieces of meat that have been pre-cut because they will not taste good when cooked.
