Even experienced cooks can have trouble cooking tender meat, leaving it tough and unable to be enjoyed to its full potential.

Problems of this kind can arise both when stewing and when frying.

What 3 tricks will help make the product softer and juicier

Coarse salt

Many cooks are sure that meat does not need spices and marinades, which can add additional flavors. The product has a completely complete independent taste, which should not be mixed with anything.

Therefore, a proven trick is used to soften the fibers. First, the meat needs to be treated with coarse sea salt and wait 60 minutes. Then remove excess salt and begin heat treatment.

Vodka

Many have heard that this alcoholic drink is actively used to soften meat fibers. If you want to try the method, it is better to use it in the process of stewing.

Asian Method

Asian cooks make a special marinade that does not affect the taste of the meat, but makes it much softer. To prepare it, you need to mix a little starch with a portion of any strong alcohol in natural soy sauce.

The product must be marinated for at least eight hours before cooking.
