For those who like to eat beef, it is important to pay attention to its fat content. Beef, although rich in protein, is also known to contain fat that can trigger an increase in bad cholesterol. This excessive fat can pose a health risk, especially if consumed in large quantities or in the form of high-fat meat parts, such as ribs.
Beef ribs, one of the most popular cuts, actually have a higher fat content than other cuts of meat. According to thedailymeal.com, about 46.6% of the calories in 85 grams of beef ribs come from fat, with cholesterol reaching 68.9 grams.
However, there are ways to reduce the fat. One of them is a trick shared by YouTube user Dapur Family, where he shows an effective way to remove fat from beef ribs, so they can still be enjoyed without worrying about cholesterol.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Dapur Family on Thursday (19/9), he chose to use the boiling method to remove fat from beef ribs. But not only that, he also boiled it with one additional ingredient, namely ginger. Reported from healthline.com, ginger is a spice that is very effective in removing fat from meat.

Once done, cover the pan and boil for 20 minutes or until tender. Use medium heat so that the meat can be tender quickly. Next, turn off the stove and let it sit until the water starts to warm up.

After that, lift and drain the rib meat. Separate it from the broth from boiling the beef ribs. Because the fat has melted, the rib meat is ready to be processed again with various kinds of food. In the video, YouTube user Dapur Family also wants to use the remaining broth from boiling. But first transfer the broth into a glass container. Then store it in the bottom of the refrigerator overnight.

If it has been left, the fat in the broth will harden by itself. The fat is in the form of white lumps that float on top of the broth. Well, you can take it and throw it away. That way, the broth can also be safer to consume because it is low in fat and does not increase cholesterol.
