How to choose good beef:
- Choose fresh meat with no dark red color, small and tender fibers.
- Avoid large and tough fibers. Beef fat should be bright yellow, with white and firm tendons; soft fat should not be chosen.
- Gently press the meat with your fingers to feel its good elasticity. If it doesn’t stick to your hand and has no unpleasant smell, you can select fresh beef for cooking.
- Female beef is usually tastier than male beef. Choose young beef as it has white fat and fine, tender fibers.
