Many moms are used to putting a lot of tenderizer powder when steaming beef patties, saying this makes the beef smoother. Does this mean that beef can only become old and tough without tenderizer powder?
Choose fresh beef knuckle (the part above the cow's thigh). The meat there is smooth and tender, making it suitable for steaming into patties.
When mincing the beef, remember to add some fatty pork to steam with it. The pork lard can make the beef's texture smoother and more tender.
The beef patties must not be too thick. Put them in the steamer after the water comes to a boil. 4 minutes of steaming until the meat is just cooked is enough.
