Beef is called the healthiest type of red meat.
But in order to take full advantage of its benefits, it is not enough to choose a quality product and settle on a successful recipe.
It is also necessary to properly prepare the meat for further processing.
For this purpose, many housewives rinse the piece of meat under running water.
Some cooks even soak the beef before cooking it.
Expert of the online publication BelNovosti, cook Yulia Arkhipova is convinced that these procedures are of no use. Moreover, sometimes they can even cause harm.
The whole point is that during the washing process, water does not wash away bacteria, but on the contrary, promotes their reproduction.
For this reason, you should carefully ensure that splashes do not fly in different directions and do not fall on other food and dishes.
But heat treatment will certainly destroy possible pathogens – so why take the risk and additionally douse the product with water?
By the way, cutting beef is no less important for successful cooking.
The correct way is to cut a piece of meat across the grain.
In this case, the muscle tissue will not contract and will retain the protein it contains.
