The invention provides a method for quickly aging and tenderizing beef, which comprises the following steps: during the beef chilling aging process, cattle
pancreas is prepared into homogenate; Ca2+ is utilized to activate various zymogens in the
pancreas; active
pancreas injection solution is prepared and directly injected into the beef, so that
trypsin in the beef can decompose
muscle protein; and simultaneously, by the action of ultrasonic wave, the original structure of
muscle is damaged, the tenderness is improved, the aging purpose can be achieved within three to five days, and the
natural aging time can be shortened by about 50%. In the aspect of keeping quality, vacuum packaging and
radiation sterilization are combined, so that the storage period of the
cut beef can be prolonged for 3-5 times; in the aspect of the quality of the beef, the
cut beef prepared by the method has
organoleptic, physicochemical and other indexes which can meet the requirements of 'GB2707 Hygienic Standard for Fresh (Frozen) Meat of
Livestock'; and the
cutting force is 4.2-5.3kg, and people can obtain the best
mouthfeel. The method maintains the specific
flavor and
nutrition of the beef, and has the characteristics of quick aging speed, long
shelf life, energy saving effect and high production efficiency.
