It is enough to take into account just one nuance for a beef dish to become a real pleasure for the taste buds.

Inexperienced housewives do not like to cook beef. The dish turns out tough, like rubber, so they choose pork or chicken.

But it is enough to correct one mistake that is made at the beginning of cooking. Then you will not have to give up your favorite dish because of the expectation of failure.

The root of the problem lies in improper pre-treatment. Experienced cooks recommend pre-cooking meat.

For example, when planning to cook for tomorrow, the beef is transferred from the freezer to the refrigerator in the evening.

The meat is not placed in a bowl, but in a colander, which is placed in a deep dish. It is important that the beef does not come into contact with water, which will accumulate as it defrosts. Additionally, the meat is wrapped in a paper towel while defrosting.

Thanks to this trick, the beef dish turns out softer, there are no associations with "rubber". The result will be fixed by marinade made from kiwi or pineapple.
