I had very bad experiences with dry and hard beef pieces that ended up in the trash!
But I did not know yet this genius trick that I just learned the best possible way: by tasting it!
I ate an incredible steak with friends and asked them what was their secret to finally know how to cook it so that it was as good.
The secret of the tenderness of beef, pork, veal and even poultry: use baking soda!
Spread your meat on a board and sprinkle it with baking soda. Rub the powder on the meat to spread it out.
Allow to stand for 2 to 5 hours in the refrigerator.
Then rinse the meat with very cold water to remove the baking soda.
Wipe the meat with a paper towel to remove any moisture and cook it in a frying pan, BBQ, oven, simmer.
You will be amazed at the difference in taste and texture of your meat: it will be the most tender you have eaten! [pub]
