Beef will be more tender than "bird's milk": here is an ingredient that helps out experienced cooks
With the help of a little trick, housewives can easily prepare a soft and juicy dish from dry and tough beef.
Soda helps them with this. The ingredient removes the acid contained in muscle fibers, neutralizes the unpleasant smell and makes the meat so tender that it can be compared to "bird's milk" candies.
If a piece of "old" beef ends up on the table, don't despair and cook the meat. The product can be prepared for baking or cooking a juicy steak.
So, a recipe tested by housewives says that beef should be rubbed with soda. The powder is evenly distributed over the surface of the raw meat. Then the product is placed in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
After 120 minutes, wash off the soda under running water and proceed to cooking. If the meat is fried, then salt and pepper are used at the end.
In addition, the pieces of meat are placed in the pan so that there is a gap of 1 cm between them. Otherwise, the beef will be stewed, not fried.
Before stewing the meat, mix ¾ teaspoon of soda with 2 tablespoons of water for each kilogram of beef. Let the product sit for 20 minutes, and then proceed to cooking.
In this case, there is no need to rinse. Long stewing, the use of spices and other ingredients will do their job, and there will be no taste of soda left.
