3. Notes when making beef hotpot

Although beef hot pot is an easy dish to make, there are still a few things to keep in mind.

To make delicious beef hotpot, you should choose the right ingredients.

You should choose beef with bright red color mixed with white tendons and bright yellow fat, soft, small fibers that do not look too smooth.

When pressed by hand, the beef has good firmness and elasticity and feels supple and slightly sticky.

You should choose tenderloin or fillet. These cuts of meat are easy to cook when dipped in hot pot, and are soft and sweet, making them delicious.

If you observe a piece of meat that has small, white cysts that easily come off, it is very likely that the meat contains tapeworms and you should not buy it.

Avoid buying meat that is pale or dark red, has dark yellow fat, has white spots on the meat, is soft, or has a strange odor.

You can marinate the beef overnight in the refrigerator to make the meat softer and more delicious.

Choose to buy pineapples with eye-catching yellow color and even color. Avoid buying pineapples with brown color mixed in because they are old or pineapples with only green color because they are not ripe.

You should buy pineapples that are round, short, and have big eyes because these will have more flesh and be sweeter.

When making the broth, you should only add enough. If you add too much, the dish will taste sour and will no longer be appealing.

Depending on each person's taste, you can season and adjust the spices accordingly.

Beef hotpot with fermented rice vinegar is a dish with a light sour taste, combined with the rich sweetness of beef, and adding vegetables is perfect.

With the above sharing on how to make beef hotpot with vinegar, hope to help you improve your family meals. Wish you success!
