Matters needing attention in selecting beef:

First of all, look

See if there are any red spots on the skin. Those without red spots are good meat, and those with red spots are bad meat; Look at the muscles, the fresh meat is shiny, the red is even, and the inferior meat is slightly black; Look at the fat, the fat of fresh meat is white or light yellow, the fat of inferior meat lacks luster, and the fat of deteriorated meat is green.

Second, the smell

Fresh meat has a normal smell, while inferior meat has an ammonia or sour taste.

Third, touch

Feel elastic, fresh meat is elastic, the depression immediately recovers after finger pressing, the elasticity of inferior meat is poor, the depression recovers slowly or even cannot recover after finger pressing, and the deteriorated meat is inelastic. You should also feel sticky. The surface of fresh meat is slightly dry or wet and does not stick to hands. The surface of sub-fresh meat is dry or sticky, and the new cut surface is wet and sticky. Deteriorated meat is severely sticky and extremely dry in appearance. However, some heavily watered meat does not stick to hands at all, but it can be seen that its appearance is wet and unstable.
