How to boil beef so that the meat remains tender and soft?

It is worth noting right away that the quality of the meat will largely depend on how timely you add the salt. If you add the component too early, the beef will be dry. If you add the salt late, the meat will not be soaked and will remain bland.

Therefore, you need to add salt approximately ten minutes before the dish is fully cooked.

It is also worth boiling meat together with vegetable components. It is believed that this will not only make the meat tastier and more aromatic, but also improve the texture. Therefore, it is better to cook beef together with onions and carrots.
