Cooking meat that is soft and juicy is a separate skill, especially when it comes to beef. Of course, you can be guided by the basic rules: if you doubt the quality of the purchased meat, it is better to stew it or bake it in the oven. However, you can take a chance and fry such meat. But then you need to know a few secrets.
It is necessary
- beef
- lemon
- kiwi
- sour cream
- dry mustard
- dry red wine
- balsamic vinegar
- sparkling mineral water
Instructions
Step 1
If you cook meat, grate it on all sides with dry mustard beforehand. Let him lie in this state for 6-8 hours. Then rinse under cold water and start cooking.
Step 2
If you are frying, stewing, or roasting beef, cut it into steaks or small pieces. Before preparing the dish, it is better to marinate the meat. This can be done in many ways. For several hours, chopped meat can be poured with highly carbonated mineral water or red dry wine, or lemon juice, or milk, or kefir, or cucumber pickle, or soy sauce. You can also add some sugar or baking soda to the marinade. Another option is to put sliced kiwi in the meat for half an hour. Remove all fruit pieces before cooking.
Step 3
Before cooking, fry each piece of meat on both sides for 1 minute in a hot skillet. Add dry wine, balsamic vinegar, and onions to soften the meat when stewing. The same effect is given by mayonnaise-mustard or sour cream sauce, in which you can fry meat.
Step 4
If the meat baked in the oven still turns out to be tough and dry, the following is done. The meat is laid out in a colander, which is placed on top of a pot of boiling water. All this is closed with a lid for 15 minutes.
