How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- You should prioritize choosing pieces of beef brisket that have a bright red color, interspersed with white marbling and bright yellow fat.
- When you touch the piece of meat with your hand and feel a good elasticity, not sticky, you should buy it because it is fresh beef.
- You should not buy pieces of beef that appear pale green or dark red, with white spots on the meat because they may be sick beef, which can be very harmful to health when consumed.
- Avoid buying meat that has an unpleasant smell, feels mushy and slimy when touched because that indicates the meat has been stored for too long and is about to spoil.
