Brilio.net - Beef and offal are often the favorite choices in various dishes because of their savory taste and distinctive texture. Whether processed into soup, rendang, or satay, these two ingredients always present a delicious and appetizing taste. It is no wonder that many people like to cook them for everyday dishes or special events.

However, one of the challenges in processing beef and offal is its tough texture if not cooked properly. To get tender results, both must be boiled for a long time, especially parts such as shank, ribs, or tripe. If the boiling process is not right, the meat can remain tough, while the offal can smell fishy and unpleasant.

To make it more practical, there are several ways that can be done to speed up the boiling process without reducing its quality. Using a pressure cooker is one of the best solutions to make meat tender faster. But if there is no pressure cooker in the kitchen, you can use another method like Instagram user @erna.05. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using a regular pan to boil beef and offal. Even so, the food ingredients can be tender in just 12 minutes.

After further investigation, Instagram user @erna.05 has her own trick when boiling beef and offal. As reported by BrilioFood on Thursday (30/1), the method used is the 7.30.5 technique. So boiling is done twice with a duration of 5 and 7 minutes. Then in between the boiling, the meat and offal must be left for 30 minutes.

Next, add the beef and offal to be boiled. Then, cover the pan and boil for 7 minutes over medium to high heat. If it's been 5 minutes, let it sit for 30 minutes with the pan still covered. After that, turn the stove back on and boil again for 5 minutes until the water recedes.

Well, the boiled beef and offal can be drained immediately. You can cook it with various spices to make various dishes. Don't forget to use more spices when cooking meat and offal to make it more delicious and fragrant.

"Guaranteed, the meat is tender even without using a pressure cooker," said Instagram @erna.05.

To make it more delicious, make sure the spices are perfectly absorbed into the meat and offal. Marinating with spices for several hours before cooking will provide a richer and deeper flavor. Cooking techniques such as slow cooking or braising with spices can also enhance the flavor, especially for dishes such as rendang or gulai. With the right steps, beef and offal can be more delicious, tender, and free from fishy odor.
