My grandma taught me that cleaning the meat has more to do with flavoring than killing bacteriaWhy do you dumbasses think that bacteria only collects on the outside part of the meat that you are able to see and wash?
Does it really make you feel better that you have washed the outside of the meat? What about the entire inside? Do you think that biology ceases to exist in your kitchen?
COOKING the meat kills the bacteria. Not washing it. Washing it only spreads it around the kitchen.
certain meats like fowl (elderly chicken) will have a gamey taste after cooking - to eliminate that taste, rinsing the meat in vinegar and marinating in lime along with other seasoning - tenderizes the meat and cuts the gamey flavor
Now I wash all meat before brining marinade or infusion - but thats because I want a consistent flavor from the surface all the way to the bone or in the case of steak all the way through
y'all haven't lived until you marinate for 2 to 3 days in jerk and then grill steak medium to medium well
