Brilio.net - Beef is a food ingredient that can be processed in various ways, such as stir-fried, cooked in soup, or grilled. In addition, beef is also suitable for combining with various spices, such as balado, sweet and sour, black pepper, and others. However, processing meat is often a challenge for some people. This is due to the tough texture of the meat when it is still raw, so it requires a very long boiling, up to hours, to make it tender.
To tenderize meat, many people rely on a pressure cooker. This type of high-pressure cooker can make meat tender in a short time. However, not everyone has this special pot. For those who do not have or do not want to use a pressure cooker, you can try a simple tutorial shared by YouTube user Noer Diary. In one of his videos, he shows how to boil meat using only a regular pot. With a special technique and the addition of two kitchen ingredients, boiled meat can be tender.
As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Noer Diary on Tuesday (21/1), the YouTube user used lemon water and salt. These two ingredients must be used correctly so that the meat can be maximally tender.
First, prepare the meat that has been cut into pieces. Then steal lime juice. Stir while squeezing, then let stand for 5 minutes. The acid content in the lemon will help break down the protein fibers in the meat and make the meat more tender after cooking.

But so that the meat doesn't taste sour, you can rinse it after soaking it in lemon water. Then put it in a pan that has been filled with water. Then boil it for 5 minutes while covered.
After 5 minutes, open the lid of the pot. Then remove the bubbles or dirt floating on the boiling water. Next, pour in enough salt so that the meat texture can be tender quickly when boiled.

After adding salt, cover the pan again and boil for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes with the pan covered. If it has been left, boil it again for 5 minutes.

So, the total boiling from the first time the meat is put in is 15 minutes. Well, after that, turn off the heat and open the pan. Then lift and drain the meat. The boiled beef is tender and ready to be processed with various spices.
