Brilio.net - Red meat such as beef is often used as a daily side dish to increase protein intake. Protein from beef is believed to be a source of energy and strengthen muscle mass. In addition, as reported by betterhealth.vic.gov.au, beef also has iron, zinc, vitamins, iodine, and others that are important for the body.
This food ingredient can be cooked into various delicious dishes, such as beef teriyaki , meatballs, stir-fried green beans with minced meat, steak, and many more. However, many people avoid cooking beef at home because they don't know how to store it. If you store beef incorrectly and store it whole, the meat can rot quickly or just fill up the refrigerator.
Well, one of the tricks is to store the meat in the form of slices or thin slices. You don't always have to use a special machine, you can slice it yourself using a knife at home. If you don't know how, you must try the method shared by netizens on the Yunerrr Channel YouTube account.
"Beef slices or thinly sliced meat can usually be found in supermarkets. The cutting method is also by using a special slice machine, this time I will give an example of how to thinly slice local meat manually, maybe the results are not as good or as thin as using a tool but you could say it's close," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Yunerrr Channel on Thursday (26/9).
Before being processed into thin slices, the meat must be cleaned first and frozen in the refrigerator freezer . Leave the meat in the freezer for at least 24 hours. Then, when you want to slice it, take the meat out and wait for 2 minutes first at room temperature.

The netizen who is familiarly called Yuner also explained that it is better to use a really sharp knife to slice the meat. On the other hand, before slicing, first pay attention to the direction of the meat fibers. Well, then slice the meat against the direction of the fibers so that the texture of the meat is not tough after being cooked later.
"Slice the meat about 2 millimeters thick," explains Yuner.
Reported from epicurious.com, slicing meat that is still frozen not only makes the process easier, but also prevents the emergence of bacteria. After investigating, bacteria easily grow on meat when it is moist or watery at room temperature. If bacteria have appeared, the meat will be less durable and risk endangering health.

Once sliced, each piece of meat can be arranged on a plate or in a jar. Then, cover the meat with plastic or put the lid on the jar. The meat is ready to be stored in the refrigerator. Well, this trick can keep the freezer from being full, right?
