Dear Fahim Aziz eldin Shaltout
What do you mean by the best method? In terms of storage time? Food quality? in terms of maintenance costs? In terms of sensorial liking features? Traditional methods? Technological methods? Commercial? For individual (home) use? ... etc? I think you will get more useful feedback if you make a statement.
Food Preservation Methods
These include the following:
(i) Asepsis
(ii) Removal of micro organisms
(iii) Maintenance of anaerobic conditions
(iv) Preservation by heat
(v) Use of low temperature
(vi) Drying
(vii) Use of chemical preservatives
(viii) Irradiation
(ix) Mechanical destruction of micro-organisms
(x) Combination of two or more of above methods.
To me, it is better to Combination of two or more of above methods.
Thanks.
We can make meat in the form of tablets or capsules like drugs, it has long shelf life and can easily transported from place to another and we can calculate the dose accurately

After sorting these out, subsequently, you can now choose from various methods in the previous links.
Physical methods as drying, chilling, freezing, caning, and irradiation
Chemical methods as pickling, salting, smoking,
Or combination between physical methods
Putting all condition in place like electricity especially, drying meat is the best method.
