1. Tips to Tenderize Beef Tripe Without a Pressure Cooker

Chef Supri, an innovative YouTube creator, has shared practical secrets for processing beef tripe into tender meat without the hassle of using a pressure cooker. He revealed that the key lies in the adequate grating of pineapple, which should be evenly spread over the entire surface of the tripe. "Just grate enough pineapple so that the taste and enzymes soak in well," he explained.

The bromelain enzyme contained in pineapple plays an important role in breaking down the meat fibers, making the previously tough tripe tender and delicious, ready to be enjoyed!

2. Preparation Process for Tripe with Grated Pineapple

The first step that should not be missed is to thoroughly clean the tripe before giving it the special touch of grated pineapple. Why? Because the bromelain enzyme contained in pineapple will work more optimally when in contact with the fibers of the tripe.

After the tripe is clean, evenly spread the grated pineapple, then do not hesitate to poke the surface of the tripe with a knife. This technique will help the pineapple penetrate deeper, making the tenderizing process faster and more perfect. Happy trying!

3. Let the tripe sit for 7-10 minutes

After being coated with grated pineapple and pierced, the tripe needs to be left for 7 to 10 minutes so that the bromelain enzyme in the pineapple works optimally to soften its fibers.

This well-known powerful enzyme not only serves to tenderize the tripe, but also ensures that every part is perfectly soaked in the grated pineapple, making the texture of the tripe evenly tender without requiring a long time. This simple process promises a delicious and appetizing dish!

4. The Process of Stewing Tripe with Spices

After 10 minutes, it's time to add the tripe into the fragrant spice stew! The mixture of spices consisting of ginger, garlic, coriander, turmeric, lemongrass, and ground kaffir lime leaves will provide an enticing aroma.

Chef Supri also gives a great tip: cook the tripe with these spices for only 20 minutes to ensure the flavors are perfectly absorbed while keeping the meat tender. "Don't forget to add salt and ground pepper, cook for just 20 minutes, saving time, right? The cooking process becomes quicker and more practical," he enthusiastically shared!
