How to choose fresh and delicious beef brisket
- To select good beef brisket, you must observe the color of the meat piece. Fresh and delicious meat usually has a bright red color, not dark red, and the beef fat is light yellow.
- Good beef brisket often has alternating layers of firm fat tightly attached to the meat, which is white and not discolored.
- It is advisable to choose small and tender pieces of meat, with fine fibers, and when pressed, there is good elasticity.
- If you see white, small, and easily detachable cysts on the meat, it is very likely to be a parasite. You should also avoid buying small pieces of meat that have been pre-cut, as they often contain parasites.

Prepare the beef shank
Wash the beef shank with diluted salt water, then rinse it with clean water and let it drain.
How to eliminate the smell of beef shank- Using ginger: prepare a small piece of ginger and roast it until cooked. After that, peel off the outer layer, pound it finely, rub it evenly around the beef, and rinse it clean with cold water. The smell of ginger will help eliminate the unpleasant odor of the beef during cooking, and moreover, it will help the meat become more tender.
- Using alcohol: soak the piece of beef in alcohol for 15 minutes. After that, rinse it clean under cold water; the beef will have less odor and will taste better when cooked.
- Blanching: place the piece of beef in a pot of cold water, then put it on the stove to heat. After the beef has tightened up, the unpleasant smell will also be significantly reduced.
Then you marinate the beef brisket with 3 teaspoons of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and massage the brisket thoroughly.
Next, place 1/2 of the prepared ingredients on top of the brisket and use string to tie it up. The remaining ingredients should be placed on a plate around the brisket.
Note: To ensure safety, you should use heat-resistant string to tie the meat!
