Bone broth is considered the soul of the dish, however, not everyone knows how to quickly simmer beef bones without the unpleasant smell. Today, let’s refer to the Cooking Tips section of TasteVN for quick and odor-free beef bone simmering methods!
1 How to choose fresh and quality beef bones
When buying beef bones, you should prioritize choosing bones that have a bright red-pink color and the characteristic smell of beef.
In addition, fresh and quality beef bones are those that feel firm and elastic when you touch the meat around the bones, the surface of the bones is dry, and they have a natural moisture content.
Avoid buying beef bones that are dark red and have a strong, unpleasant smell as these are signs that the bones are no longer usable. Additionally, you should limit choosing frozen beef bones because when simmered, the broth will be less sweet than usual.
2 How to simmer beef bones quickly soft, without unpleasant smell
Simmer beef bones with vinegar
To eliminate the unpleasant smell of beef bones, after purchasing, you should rinse them briefly with water and then soak the beef bones in a mixture of vinegar and diluted white salt for about 1 – 2 hours.
After that, wash the beef bones thoroughly and put them in a pot with a little vinegar to speed up the simmering process!
The vinegar will help the nutrients in the bones to be released more quickly and also help the bones to soften quickly without needing to simmer for a long time.
Simmer beef bones with vegetables
Common vegetables frequently used in daily meals of families such as carrots, beets, or potatoes, and pineapple will help your beef bone broth to become soft quickly, saving cooking time.
Before adding the vegetables to simmer with the bones, you will need to prepare and cut them into bite-sized pieces and then add them to the pot with the beef bones.
The finished beef broth will be extremely delicious and have a sweet, refreshing taste because it is simmered with various vegetables.
