Brilio.net - Beef can be an interesting menu choice, whether used as a daily side dish or for special occasions. Moreover, processed beef is suitable to be served with rice and various types of vegetables.

Apart from that, beef has many benefits that are good for the body. Reporting from healthline.com, the protein content of beef can be used to maintain the body's immunity.

So that you don't get bored, don't process beef in the same way . You can prepare it by frying it, making it into satay, grilling it, and so on. Before being processed into various dishes, beef must of course be cleaned first.

The way to clean beef is different from washing other food ingredients. The reason is, it is not recommended to rinse beef with water. If you rinse beef with water, all the bacteria will spread evenly across the surface of the beef. As a result, the beef fibers are destroyed, so the texture becomes soft when processed. What's worse, the beef also smells bad.

So, make sure you wash the beef the right way, okay? If you are still confused about how to do it, you can listen to the method shared by Instagram user @ammaizza1. In this video upload, he does not recommend washing beef with water.

Stop washing beef with running water because it will contaminate the beef with kitchen utensils. "The solution is you can use the blanching method," he explained, quoted by BrilioFood from Instagram @ammaizzal on Friday (21/6).

The blanching method itself is a technique of boiling beef for a short time. Therefore, put water first in the pan. Turn on the fire then wait until the water boils. When it's boiling, immediately add the beef to the pan.

Use medium stove heat, boil the beef for just 3 minutes. With this boiling process, all dirt and bacteria in the beef will die. This can be seen when the surface of the boiled water is full of white foam.
