Not all housewives take on the preparation of beef dishes. It is more difficult to make it juicy and soft than, for example, pork or veal. But it is quite possible, knowing a few simple culinary secrets. For example, a well-chosen marinade will help soften the beef.

Instructions
Step 1
Slice the beef (if you are not roasting it whole) across the grain.
Step 2
Beat off pieces of meat. You can also sprinkle them with cooked spices to your liking.
Step 3
Marinate the meat using softening ingredients. Add, for example, a little starch, chopped onions and spices. Stir and leave for 1.5 hours.
Step 4
Coat the beef with mayonnaise and let sit for about 1 hour. You can wash it off before cooking if you don't like the taste of mayonnaise.
Step 5
Spread mustard on all sides of the meat and leave for 1-1.5 hours in a cool place.
Step 6
Soak the beef in highly carbonated mineral water for 2 hours. Add spices, onions and some lemon juice if desired.
Step 7
Brush the beef cuts with vegetable oil. Sprinkle a little vinegar on top and let it sit for 1 hour.
Step 8
Peel the required amount of kiwi, cut into circles. Lay them in layers of meat. Cover with a lid. After 45-60 minutes, you can start further cooking.
Step 9
Soak the beef in the milk so that it completely covers the meat. Refrigerate overnight.
Step 10
Breast the meat before searing, alternating between the beaten egg and breadcrumbs. This will create a crispy shell that will prevent the juice from flowing into the pan.
Step 11
Fry the cuts of beef before further simmering, over high heat, until a crust forms.
Step 12
Place some sliced bacon and onion rings on a baking sheet. Place the prepared piece of meat on top and place in the oven. Water the beef more often with the juice it produces during the baking process.
Step 13
Pour the fried meat before stewing only with hot, and preferably boiling, water. Cold water will make the meat "rubbery".
Step 14
Add 1-2 tsp when stewing or frying. cognac. It will make the meat not only softer, but also tastier and will shorten the cooking time.
