How to choose the right quality beef: 4 tips

Beef is a very healthy and tasty type of meat that can be used to make many delicious dishes, from cutlets to kebabs. But very often it is not possible to buy a natural and tasty product in stores and on the market, which is why the taste of the dishes is not at all what we would like.

Experts shared useful and very important tips on choosing high-quality and tasty beef on the air of the "Useful Program", which will help you choose an exceptionally good product (to watch the video, scroll to the end).

What you should pay attention to when choosing meat in the first place:

1. Color

Remember that fresh beef is always only bright red, without any dark spots or green tint. If it has a brown color, it "says" that the meat is old and tough.

2. Smell

Fresh beef always has a fresh smell, without any unpleasant odors.

3. Toughness

The quality of the meat can be checked very easily – just press it with your finger, if the trace of pressure immediately smoothed out, it is fresh and not tough beef. If the mark remains, the meat is old and it is better not to buy it.

4. Price

A good natural product cannot have a low price.

What part is right to take for different dishes

1. If, for example, you want to fry beef, choose only tender pieces – fillet, loin, thick or thin edge.

2. If you want to bake, the best option would be meat with a fatty layer – tenderloin or fillet, so the dish will be very juicy and tasty.

3. For a tasty and thick soup, choose pieces of beef with cartilage, tendons, and large bones.

4. If you want to cook meat jelly, you need to choose not only meat, but you should add bones, shank, and even the tail, so it will be definitely successful.
