Anyone rarely does without meat. But walking around and buying small pieces every day is too difficult, so most people prefer to buy beef immediately for a month or longer. To keep it fresh and tasty, you need to know how to store it properly.
At first, keep the meat in a cool place.
Secondly, no matter how correctly it is stored, it is still the most useful meat 2-3 days old, no later.
Fundamental rules:
- There is no need to wash the meat before putting it in the refrigerator, it will spoil faster.
- Small pieces will deteriorate faster than large pieces.
- It is better not to store the minced meat for a long time, a whole piece of beef will last much longer.
- Meat that has been previously removed from the bones will last longer.
It can be helpful to wrap the beef in a rag or napkin soaked in vinegar. This will allow it to be stored longer.
When you decide to consume meat, it is best to wash the whole piece at once without cutting it. This will help keep as many nutrients as possible in it.
For long-term storage, place the beef immediately in the freezer rather than keeping it in the refrigerator..
When defrosting, you do not need to do this quickly, let the meat lie down and defrost in a natural way, this will preserve as much of its taste as possible.
