How not to make the wrong choice when buying beef? Beef is a good source of iron, protein, and minerals. The taste of any dish depends on the freshness and juiciness of the beef. I'll give the main criteria for choosing the right meat.
Terms of fresh beef purchases
Deep red hue, with no extra dark inclusions - indicates the freshness of the meat. Beef old animal - has a rich dark red, brown, and even closer is unlikely to be a juicy dish.
Fresh beef is slightly damp surface. Only the edge of a piece of beef should be more blood and wet.
To avoid mistakes, follow these simple tips:
- Choose a dry meat, not what is in the blood.
- Smell meat odor quality product should not contain additional impurities. Any signs of an unpleasant smell - so the meat is not fresh.
- Another criterion - this resistance. The surface of the fresh meat is smoothed almost immediately after a slight pressure.
Cost plays an important role in the selection of products. Good beef from local farmers - not a cheap pleasure.
The correct choice of frozen meat.
Not every housewife is able to buy fresh beef on the market. Many supermarkets and hypermarkets offer a wide range of frozen meat.
Rules for the choice of such a product is slightly different:
Color correctly frozen beef does not change or becomes brighter for a few tones. When using vacuum packaging the meat can be rich burgundy shade, even after thawing it turns red again at home.
In the form of frozen beef should not be stored for more than 10 months (from the date of packaging). So pay attention to the time of manufacture.
Ice Abundance says that the meat has been frozen more than once, and the conditions of transport or storage of the product have been violated. Is it worth the risk?
Ice is only allowed on the surface of the package. By the way, the package itself must remain whole - without damage.
In conclusion, we recall that only beef is defrosted in the refrigerator. Of course, it would be easier to leave the meat in the kitchen sink overnight. But such rapid defrosting will affect the taste of the dish.
Good luck to you in the selection of meat and in the kitchen!
