Meat can be created into various variations of dishes. Red meat lovers must be familiar with rendang, gulai, tongseng, soto betawi, and so on. Meat is often the choice of side dish because it tastes good and has a high protein content.
However, many people are reluctant to cook their own meat at home. The reason is, meat has a tough texture, so it requires a longer cooking process . One trick, you can tenderize meat by marinating it using baking soda. Baking soda is known as a baking leavening agent that is also effective in loosening meat fibers.
However, if you don't have baking soda at home, don't worry because there are still other tricks that are much simpler. One of them was shared by TikTok user @ayusaidfamily. This netizen explained that there is one kitchen tool that you can use to help meat become tender quickly when boiled.
Before getting into the trick, first prepare the meat that will be boiled. How to cut the meat is also important to note. If you cut it carelessly, the meat can become tough. So, make sure you cut the meat against the grain. "Cut the meat against the grain, guaranteed to be very tender," said the owner of the TikTok account @ayusaidfamily, quoted by BrilioFood on Thursday (8/22).
