Brilio.net - Beef can be processed into various menus such as rendang, soto, empal, and bakso. In addition to being delicious, beef is also rich in benefits for the body, being one of the good sources of protein according to healthline.com.
However, beef is a food ingredient that is quite difficult to process. If not right, beef can have a tough texture, reducing the enjoyment of the dish. Therefore, many people boil beef first so that the results are perfectly tender, although this process often takes hours.
The process of boiling meat for too long can be complicated. You need to find a way to make the meat tender in a short time. It turns out, there is a way to tenderize meat in just 12 minutes. This method was shared by YouTube user ashant CHANNEL. In addition to being tender, the meat also doesn't smell anymore.
"The result is really soft and doesn't smell at all. You can even shred it by hand," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube ashant CHANNEL on Monday (23/9).
First, wash the beef that will be boiled in running water. Then drain.

Add lime juice to the beef. Stir until everything is evenly distributed. Let stand for 3 minutes.
"This function is to neutralize the fishy smell of beef. You can also use lemon if you don't have any," he explained further.

While waiting, add enough water to the pan. Then boil using medium heat until the water is really boiling.
"When it boils, we reduce the heat on the stove and then add the crushed ginger and the beef," he said.

Cover the pan and cook the beef for 5 minutes. To cook it faster, this netizen deliberately put a mortar on top of the pan lid.
"This is so that it is completely cooked and no hot steam comes out," he explained.

After boiling for 5 minutes, turn off the stove. Let it sit for 30 minutes without opening the lid. If so, turn on the stove and cook for another 7 minutes.
Turn off the stove and drain the beef after it has been boiled for 7 minutes. Although it was only boiled for 12 minutes, the beef result was really satisfying.
"This method can save gas and the results are perfectly soft," he explained.
