Brilio.net - Beef is one of the food ingredients that is often processed by Indonesian people. Not only used as steak, you can process beef into satay, stir-fry, tongseng, krengsengan, and many more. Even so, the method of processing red meat is different from chicken or fish.
The reason is, beef has a quite strong fishy or rancid odor. If you just rinse it with plain water, the fishy smell will actually become more evenly distributed throughout the meat. As a result, the deliciousness of processed beef decreases because the fishy smell can still be smelled even though it has been seasoned in such a way.
To get around this, you can imitate the method of getting rid of the fishy smell of beef shown by TikTok user @hajaribrahim110. In his video upload, this netizen shows how to clean beef using one type of flour.

Once done, pour in enough water to completely cover all the pieces of beef. Stir until the wheat flour dissolves. If so, let the beef rest for 5 minutes so that the wheat flour solution is absorbed optimally.

Just soaked for 5 minutes, immediately discard the wheat flour solution. Then rinse the beef pieces using running water. If so, drain it.

Beef cuts can be directly prepared using various spices according to taste. If you don't want to process it yet, beef can be stored in the freezer as stock.
No need to worry, the fishy smell of the beef disappears because it has been soaked in wheat flour solution. This was explained on the thefreshloaf.com page, the content in wheat flour can absorb the fishy smell in various types of red meat.
Therefore, this trick can also be practiced when you process other red meat such as goat meat. For those of you who have beef stock at home, don't forget to practice this trick, okay?
