It happens that even fresh meat does not smell very pleasant. This happens for several reasons. For example, meat from puberty males often has an unpleasant odor. Or the animal could be treated with some odorous medications. Meat can also acquire "odor" under the influence of food additives in livestock feed. These odors can intensify during cooking and spoil the finished meal. If you are confident in the quality of the meat and are planning to cook it, then try to eliminate the unpleasant aroma with the help of improvised means.
