Preparing meat for cooking ensures its safety and enhances its flavor and texture. It involves several crucial steps:
Trimming excess fat and connective tissues removes unwanted parts and improves tenderness. Washing meat eliminates surface bacteria, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses. Drying meat with paper towels helps achieve a more evenly browned surface while seasoning enhances flavor. Marinating meat in a flavorful liquid tenderizes it and infuses it with additional flavors.
