How to Make Stringy Meat Tender, Juicy, and Tasty: A Simple Ingredient Will Help

When a housewife thinks about how to improve the taste and texture of meat, the first thought that comes to mind is marinating.

This is certainly an effective method, but not everyone likes it, since the marinade somewhat changes the original taste of the product.

In this regard, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova, suggests using an alternative method, with the help of which you can make meat softer and juicier and preserve its taste.

Coarse sea salt

To tenderize the meat, rub it with coarse sea salt with granules from 0.4 to 0.7 mm and leave it in the refrigerator for 40-60 minutes.

This time is enough for the salt to penetrate the structure of the meat, moisturize it and soften the fibers, but at the same time it will not have time to draw out the juice.

Finally, rinse or scrape off the salt and you can proceed with further steps to prepare the meat.

Alcohol

This option is suitable for those who want to stew meat, but are afraid that it will end up tough and dry.

Wine and cognac give meat a special flavor, but vodka does not change its aroma. For 1 kg of pork, a 50-gram shot of vodka will be enough.

And although the alcohol evaporates as a result of heat treatment, it is not recommended to give dishes prepared in this way to children.
