6 ways to preserve meat

Even after distributing meat during Eid-ul-Adha, there is still a lot of meat left over. Meat can also be shared from neighbors. If the refrigerator is small, there is not enough space to store so much meat. In such a situation, you can store meat in other ways.

1. Salting meat is an ancient method of preserving meat. Mix salt and leave the meat for 24 hours. Then put it in the refrigerator. This meat will stay good for up to 1 month. This method prevents oxidative and microbial decay of the meat. 
2. You can dry and preserve meat. To do this, cut the meat into thin strips. Boil them for 3-4 minutes to kill bacteria. Drain the water completely and pat dry. Bake in an oven (on the lowest setting) for 8-12 hours. Dehydrated meat in this way will keep for 1-2 months in an airtight container without refrigeration.
3. You can make dried meat by drying it in the sun or in a stove. For this, first cut the meat into pieces, wash it and boil it with just turmeric. Boil it until the rawness inside is gone. Once boiled, drain the water and cool it. Then tie it in a wire mesh and dry it in the hot sun. When the water inside the meat is completely dry, remove it from the wire and store it in a closed tin. Soak it in hot water for a while before cooking. 
4. To preserve two to three kilograms of meat, first rub 4 tablespoons of beet salt and 4 tablespoons of brown sugar. Then cover the meat with 1 liter of vinegar, completely submerging it.
5. Marinate the meat with a generous amount of salt and turmeric. If you want to preserve it by marinating it, leave the fat on the meat. If you marinate it twice a day, you can keep the meat for one to two months.
6. The easiest way to store meat is to keep it in the freezer. However, before storing it, slice it, clean it, and drain the water. If you want to store it for a long time, remove the fat from the meat. Instead of storing a large amount at a time, store it in small bags. This way, you can take it out and eat it as needed. If you store a lot of meat at once, you will have to defrost the entire portion.
