SKINNING (2 of 2)
BEEF
A beef sirloin with skin removed Beef sirloin for example will have the skin already removed, only the fat layer is left on, this is trimmed further to remove the sinew which runs from the lower end of the sirloin.
 
SINEW A beef joint
Some beef joints do have tough sinew which should be trimmed or removed or the piece or pieces of meat will be tough when cooked. The reason for this is that the sinew shrinks and is not tenderised by the cooking process but toughened, similar in texture to an elastic band.
