Since last year, the price of pork has been like riding on the high-speed rail, running all the way. Especially this winter, the price of pork has almost doubled compared to the past, and at the highest time, a pound has sold to 30 yuan, and many people around have complained that the price of meat is too high, which is almost comparable to the price of beef, and can not afford pork. But fortunately, the price has now come down, and now it is basically 10 yuan and 1 catty.
Beef contains potassium, sarcosine, protein, vitamin B12 and other elements needed by the human body, especially protein, amino acid composition is closer to the human body than pork, can improve the body's ability to resist diseases, there is a long body in the family, so the number of times my family eats beef is also very much.
I don't know if you have found a phenomenon, the same market, raw beef sold to 38 yuan 1 pound, turn around to the place of cooked food to ask, beef 42 yuan 1 pound, the difference is only a few dollars, but the brine beef is obviously more troublesome, but also clean up, spend time and manpower to do this dish, directly buy home ready-made brine beef is not more convenient? I think many friends think the same as me, but if the boss does this, who will make up the difference? How to make money?
At this time, I believe that many small partners will wonder if the marinated beef is not beef? Is the disease of beef and the like, in fact, if there are some black-hearted merchants to do this we also have no way of knowing, each line has its own rules, specific we still have to look at the size of the market, if you are in the street that unknown stall to buy, then counterfeiting is inevitable. Markets like this don't have that kind of problem. From the following points, let's analyze the source of these beef.
1. Cheap beef
You can go to the supermarket to know that frozen beef is cheaper than fresh beef, if it is the kind of frozen beef that is purchased in batches, the price ranges from 10 to 20 yuan, the source is like imported or beef sellers or something, the specific we have no way to know, so even if the price of marinated beef and the price of raw beef is not much different, the merchant also has money to earn.
2, the way of brine boiling
Some merchants make marinated beef in order to reduce the production cost. Usually use low temperature cooking method, which means that the beef is soaked in blood water, and finally put in the brine soup with a low heat to slowly boil, and then simmer for 30 minutes with a low heat, so that the beef is always soaked in the brine soup, generally after two low temperature boiling, the beef will become particularly soft and rotten. Such a pound, the beef can probably produce about seven or two, but also a special taste.
3, a variety of additives
For example, before making marinated beef, injecting carrageenan or some starch, powdered sugar and the like in the beef to increase the weight of the beef, the use of these additives, to a large extent, increase the beef out of the meat rate, improve the weight of cooked beef, in fact, it seems that the bought back brine beef is 1 kg, in fact, there is no 1 kg at all. If you buy the kind of brine beef that is hard to eat and does not spread out when cut, you will basically buy fake or "problem" beef.
Finally, I also want to remind everyone here that a penny is 1 penny, if you want to eat marinated beef, it is still recommended that you buy in a regular store, do not covet small and cheap, the price difference is made up from the consumer.
