Brilio.net - Fresh beef often contains blood residue that can cause a fairly strong fishy smell. This smell can interfere with the taste of the dish if not handled properly. Therefore, it is important to know the right way to clean meat before processing so that the cooking results are more delicious and odorless.
There are several methods that can be done to remove the fishy smell from beef, such as soaking it in lime juice or using certain spices. This process not only helps reduce the smell, but also makes the meat more tender and ready to be processed into favorite dishes.
But besides lime and spices, there are other kitchen ingredients that are no less effective in removing blood residue or fishy smells from beef. This kitchen ingredient was once used by the owner of the Instagram account @melizah21. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only relying on two kitchen ingredients, namely wheat flour and vinegar.

As reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @melizah21 on Friday (24/1), the first thing to do is to put the beef in a bowl first. After that, sprinkle flour and vinegar evenly over the surface of the meat. If so, stir until the entire surface of the meat is coated with vinegar and flour.

Next, let it sit for about 5 minutes. Well, marinating beef with flour and vinegar is effective in removing fishy odors and blood residue because these two ingredients have a special function in absorbing dirt and neutralizing odors. The combination of the two not only makes the meat free from unpleasant odors, but also helps improve the texture of the meat to be more tender.
Basically, wheat flour functions as a natural absorbent that can attract blood and dirt residue that sticks to the surface of the meat. Its smooth texture helps bind excess fluid, so that the meat becomes cleaner and fresher.
On the other hand, vinegar, which is acidic , works to neutralize compounds that cause fishy odors, such as ammonia and rotting protein residue. In addition, the acetic acid content in vinegar also helps reduce the growth of bacteria that can worsen the odor in meat.

Then if it has been left for 5 minutes, immediately rinse the meat with running water. This process will make the remaining blood also fall out with the water. Therefore, the beef is ready to be processed into a delicious dish. You don't need to worry anymore about the unpleasant smell that bothers you when you want to process beef.
This video on how to quickly remove blood residue and fishy smell from beef immediately caught the attention of netizens and has been watched more than 62 thousand times. Who would have thought, many other Instagram users then gave direct responses in the comments column. Most of these netizens expressed their gratitude for getting new and useful knowledge.
