Tips for choosing good beef:
- Good beef is dark red in color, with yellow fat.
- Choose meat with fine, tender fibers; when you press the meat with your hand, it shouldn’t stick and should not have a foul smell.
- You should choose meat from female cattle, which will be tastier and more tender than male cattle.
