Have you ever had the meat that you prepared with such zeal for the festive table turned out to be tough and tasteless? Probably, every hostess went through this. And each was looking for her own way to make it aromatic, pleasant to the taste, but most importantly - soft, melting in the mouth. You should not search through a bunch of cookbooks and Internet sites: the best recommendations from housewives all over the world are in our article.
Instructions
Step 1
Of course, in order for the meat to be soft, you need to stew, cook, fry it as long as possible. If your family has been sitting at the dinner table for a long time and knocking with spoons, try marinating meat in advance with the addition of vinegar or, for example, kvass. Sour milk is also great for pickling. And even the pickle from the home cellar will do.
Step 2
Most experienced housewives always keep mustard at home. This spicy seasoning will serve a good benefit not only during the meal, but also during the preparation of meat. Coat a piece of meat with mustard and leave for 15 minutes. During this time, the fibers will become soft and the meat will be very tender.
Step 3
To make the meat tender, some housewives advise squeezing a little kiwi juice into a saucepan with meat (or cutting it into slices). You don't need to put a lot of kiwi, otherwise the meat will become too soft, loose. Remove from the meat just before cooking a portion of the fruit.
Step 4
If there is a bottle of beer in the refrigerator, wonderful tender meat will also come out: when you stew brisket or ribs, add a little of this foamy drink instead of broth. Get not only soft meat, but great taste as well.
Step 5
Sugar. We do not even think that sugar can be put into meat. A little, about half a teaspoon.
Step 6
There is also a completely exotic way - when cooking meat, add a couple of wine corks to the water. They say the meat will become very juicy.
