Children over two years old can eat steak, and it is best to choose children's steak, which is tender and easy to chew and digest. And you must spend some time to choose steak for children. Because most children's steaks on the market are marinated steaks, some water retainers, preservatives and some seasonings are added to the marinated steaks. Although these are harmless to the human body, this seriously affects the original flavor of the steak. In the process of making steak, the nutritional components of the steak itself are destroyed. The original cut steak does not need to be marinated again. We can clearly see the part of the steak. If you fry it at home, there will be a faint fragrance of beef, not the taste of spices. So when choosing steak for your child, first choose the original cut steak. And Weileijun does not recommend buying marinated steaks, because long-term marination will destroy the taste of the meat, and you will not be able to see the characteristics of the meat itself. Even if it is made of minced meat, you can't see it or taste it.
