Beef is quite tough meat. To make it soft, juicy and easy to chew when finished, it needs to be cooked for a long time. But what if time is running out? There are ways you can cook beef faster than usual.
It is necessary
- - beef;
- - 1-2 large onions;
- - vegetable oil;
- - salt;
- - vinegar;
- - mustard;
- - pressure cooker.
Instructions
Step 1
Pour half a pot of water over a high heat. When the water boils, reduce the flame and dip the beef into the pot.
Step 2
This method is suitable if you only need meat and you are not going to use the broth. The soup from it will turn out to be not as aromatic and tasty as if you pour cold water over the meat and cook over low heat.
Step 3
Also, beef will cook many times faster if it is not cooked in one piece, but cut into small portions. At the same time, before boiling, the meat can be fried a little in vegetable oil in a pan.
Step 4
Beef can be marinated before cooking. Use 1-2 large onions depending on the amount of meat. Chop them up and put them in a deep bowl. Salt a little.
Step 5
Make small cuts in the beef. Send the meat to a bowl of onions. Drizzle with a little vinegar. Refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Then remove the meat from the onion and cook according to the recipe you want.
Step 6
The onion composition can be replaced with mustard. Take ready-made mustard, coat the beef with it on all sides. Leave it on for about half an hour and then wash it well under running water.
Step 7
If there is no time to marinate the meat, add 1-2 teaspoons of prepared mustard to the saucepan with the meat. This will make the beef softer and the broth will acquire an unusual taste. If you don’t like the mustard flavor, don’t worry, both the taste and smell will disappear during the cooking process.
Step 8
If, before cooking, the meat is slightly beaten with a special hammer or the back of a knife, it will soften faster during cooking.
Step 9
Use a pressure cooker for beef dishes. With its help, the cooking time for any concoction is reduced several times.
