Last week, we have taught everyone two methods how to identify authentic yak, of course, some friends have asked only two methods? Of course not, I will teach you two more today.
Look at the appearance
In fact, if you buy fake yak beef, the material of the yak beef will not be real yak beef, it is likely to use yellow beef or horse meat.
As can be seen from the shape of the beef, if the yak is cut open, the cutting surface is not obviously grainy, because the fat content of the yak is less than that of other meats.
If it is dried yak beef, when it is torn open, it will be found that it has a certain drawing effect. Real yak beef jerky can be brushed, and after the yak is dried and baked, the muscle fibers contract and dry out, forming a white silk, which only real beef has such characteristics.
Taste it
When eating yak beef, you will find that yak beef is actually very chewy and will not plug teeth when eating, because the fiber of yak beef itself is relatively long, which leads to the meat quality of yak beef is actually very compact. It is precisely because the yak beef is relatively firm after drying, and the fishy taste will not be very heavy when eating.
Finally, if these ways really can't identify whether it is really yak or not, then find a friend who has eaten real yak beef before to try it, so that you can do it!
There are two kinds of knowledge that are taught above.
Have you all learned the skill of distinguishing between real and fake yak jerky?
