How to choose good beef
- You should prioritize selecting pieces of beef that are bright red, with tender, small fibers and not too smooth.
- If you gently press on a good piece of beef with your hand, it should have a good firmness and elasticity, not feel sticky, and should not have any unpleasant, abnormal odors.
- Avoid buying pieces of beef that are pale green or dark red, with a dark yellow fat layer, white spots on the meat fibers, and a mushy, slimy texture when touched.
