How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Beef Brisket
- Choose beef that is bright red, with light yellow fat, small, tender fibers, and a characteristic aroma.
- Press the meat with your hand; if it feels firm and has good elasticity without leaving a dent, it’s good.
- If you observe the meat and see small white nodules that are easy to detach, it could indicate the presence of worms, so it’s best not to buy it.
- Avoid purchasing meat that is pale green or dark red, with dark yellow fat, white spots on the meat, soft texture, or strange smells.

Prepare and boil the brisket

How to remove the smell of beef:- You can use white wine, ginger, salt, lemon, or vinegar to rub on the meat, then let it sit for about 5 – 10 minutes and wash it off with water.
- Additionally, while marinating the beef, you can roast a shallot, peel it, crush it, and marinate it with the beef, which will help eliminate the smell very effectively.
