Though tender cuts are known to be more expensive than tough cuts, tenderizing beef cuts allows the meat to have a firmer and juicier texture.
Tenderizing meat cuts involves pounding the meat to break down the muscle fiber and fibers. When working with large cuts of meat, this can be done with a tenderizing machine. These machines are essentially hammers that pound the meat to make it more tender. The meat cut is pounded at a set speed so the meat will be tenderized evenly.
How to Cut Beef
When cutting beef for the first time, you may want to ask for extra attention. It is important to cut with a sharp knife, as it will prevent the knife from tearing the meat. It’s best to start at the tail end of the meat and work your way to the top, so you can see the direction of the muscle fiber and avoid cutting through it.
How To Cut and Tenderize Beef
The first thing to do is to soak the beef in cold water. Then, cover it with salt. Allow the beef to sit for at least one hour. During this time, the water will draw out the blood and make the beef soft and tender. Drain the water and rinse the beef with cold water. Put the beef back in the freezer until you are ready to cook it. Alternatively, you can let the beef sit out for an hour and then rinse it again with cold water. This method will help the beef retain its juices.
Why You Should Tenderize Beef
Tenderizing is a method of cooking food using high heat, which can cause proteins and fats to “bleach”. This can make meat look unappealing, and it can also make the meat take longer to cook. However, when you tenderize meat, it keeps the meat soft and makes it easier to chew. Tenderizing can be done in a variety of ways. The most common method is to use a hammer. This method can be more effective than using a knife, but it can also damage your meat. Alternatively, you can use a tenderizing tool. A steak knife or meat tenderizer can help tenderize the meat, but it can also leave marks on the surface.

Do You Need to Wipe Off the Beef?
You may have heard that you have to thoroughly clean the surface of the meat before you cook it. This is not necessarily true. Depending on the recipe, you may not even have to wipe the surface. But if you want the meat to be tender and juicy, you can use a brush or just a clean cloth to wipe the surface. You don’t even have to scrub too hard or use soap or water. The key is to get a layer of oil and fat on the surface, which will create a barrier between the surface and the cooking heat. You can also use a brush to apply the fat to the meat. But you don’t have to. If you want, you can simply rub the meat with a paper towel to do this. A paper towel will absorb any excess liquid, without leaving any oily residue.
