There are classic methods for softening..
Most often you can hear about the use of marinades, which contain acidic products. Also, onions have a similar effect, notes our magazine’s expert in the field of cooking, chef Yulia Arkhipova.
But some methods will be more effective and unusual.
How to soften any meat
Pay attention to starch
Many people have never even heard of this trick, although starch can safely be called a proven option for this task. By the way, thanks to this secret, the meat will not only melt in your mouth, but will also acquire a golden crust during frying.
To do this, you need to mix a couple of spoons of cornstarch with water and leave the meat in this mixture for a couple of hours.
Brine
The logic of this method is clear: acidic components will soften the meat fibers, making it tender and juicy. It is believed that any brine can be used.
However, practice shows that it is best to take the liquid left over from sauerkraut.
