Mistakes to Avoid
When making air fryer prime rib, here are some mistakes to avoid:
Food processing
1. If the beef ribs are cut into too large pieces, they will not only be difficult to cook thoroughly, but also difficult to flavor; if the pieces are cut into too small pieces, they will easily dry out or burn, affecting both the taste and appearance.
2. If the moisture on the surface of the beef ribs is not absorbed, it will make it difficult for the seasoning to adhere, and too much water vapor will be produced during baking, causing the skin of the beef ribs to not be crispy enough.
Pickling process
1. Using too much pepper and salt seasoning powder, cumin powder, etc. will make the taste too strong and salty, affecting the taste; using too little will not fully enhance the taste, resulting in a bland taste for the beef ribs.
2. If the marinating time is too short, the beef ribs will not be able to fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning; if the marinating time is too long, the meat may become too soft and rotten due to factors such as the salt in the seasoning, and lose its original fresh taste.
Baking process
1. If the temperature is too high, the surface of the beef ribs will easily burn, but the inside will not be cooked through; if the temperature is too low, the baking time will be extended, and the beef ribs may not be baked to a crispy crust, and the taste will be poor.
