How to Prepare Grilled Beef Wrapped in Mustard Greens
-
Prepare the mustard greens
After purchasing mustard greens, cut off the roots, separate each leaf, wash them thoroughly, and let them drain.
Tip: To keep the mustard greens clean and ensure safety, you can soak them in diluted salt water for 3 – 5 minutes, then take them out and rinse with clean water, and let them drain.
-
Prepare the beef
After buying the beef, wash it thoroughly with diluted salt water, drain, cut into bite-sized pieces, and place it in a bowl.
Note:
- For the grilled beef wrapped in mustard greens, you should only wash the beef with diluted salt water; you can also use lemon or vinegar to clean and deodorize. Do not prepare by blanching the beef in boiling water and then frying as it will cause the beef to lose its quality and the dish will be less appetizing.
- To prevent the meat from sticking and breaking when grilling, you should cut the beef into bite-sized pieces, avoiding cutting them too small or too finely.
-
Making the marinade sauce for beef
Shallots peeled, washed, drained, and sliced thinly. Garlic peeled and minced.
Bird’s eye chili and long chili remove the stems, washed, chopped, and put into a mortar to grind finely.
Heat a pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the pan. When the oil is hot, add the shallots and sauté until fragrant.
When the shallots are fragrant, add the minced garlic and chili, stir well to combine the ingredients. Add 4 teaspoons of soy sauce, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, simmer on low heat and stir for about 2 – 3 minutes for the sauce to absorb the spices, then turn off the heat and let it cool.
-
Marinate and Grill Beef
Once the marinade has cooled, take the bowl containing the beef, add all the marinade, and mix well. Let it sit for about 1 – 2 hours for the beef to absorb the flavors.
Preheat the grill tray, place the marinated beef on it, turning it regularly to ensure all sides are cooked evenly and fragrant. Then, serve it on a plate; you can sprinkle a little pepper to make the dish more appealing.
Tip:
- To let the beef absorb the spices and grill better, if you have time, you can let the beef marinate overnight in the refrigerator. Additionally, beef that is chilled before grilling will be firmer and tastier.
- If you do not have an electric grill, you can place the beef on a rack and grill it over charcoal, ensuring the dish remains delicious.
- You should not grill the beef for too long as it will become tough and the dish will be less appetizing.
-
Completion
Prepare the dipping sauce for the beef with 2 tablespoons of green chili salt, 1 teaspoon of condensed milk, and the juice of 1 lemon, then mix well.
Use green mustard leaves to wrap the grilled beef, dip with a little sauce and you can enjoy it right away.
-
Final Product
The grilled beef wrapped in green mustard is complete. The beef is tender, sweet combined with the spicy flavor of the green mustard and the aroma from the grilling sauce is really enticing, isn’t it? Wishing you a delicious meal!

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose delicious, quality shiitake mushrooms
- First, for fresh shiitake mushrooms, when buying, you should prioritize selecting those with a moderate size. The stem should be short, the cap thick, and have a brownish-yellow color.
- If buying dried shiitake mushrooms, you should choose those where the stem and cap are still intact and not broken. The mushrooms should be dry and have no moldy smell.
- You should not choose dried shiitake mushrooms that have white mold spots on the body or mushrooms that have strange smells or moldy odors.
How to choose delicious, sweet pineapples
- To choose delicious, sweet pineapples, first, you should observe the color of the outer skin. The skin should be yellow with a bit of green.
- Next, you should prioritize selecting round-shaped fruits with large, evenly spread eyes, as these typically have more flesh. Gently press with your hand to feel that the fruit has a moderate firmness.
- You should not choose fruits that are dark yellow, and when gently pressed, feel soft or mushy, as these are fruits that have been stored for too long or are about to spoil. Conversely, you should also avoid fruits with a deep green skin color, as they are usually sour.

Dilute 2 tablespoons of vinegar with clean water, then cut green bananas into thin strips and soak them to prevent browning.
Wash the cucumber, cut off both ends, and if you do not want to eat the skin, you can peel it off, then cut the cucumber into bite-sized pieces similar to the green bananas.
Cut off the roots of the mustard greens, remove any damaged or yellow leaves, then wash them thoroughly with 2 – 3 rounds of water, drain, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Pineapple is peeled and eyes removed, then washed and cut into bite-sized pieces. Ginger is peeled, washed, and sliced into thin strips. Similarly, cut off the stem and seeds of the chili, with one chili cut into strips and the other sliced to boil with the beef.

Add 1 tablespoon of seasoning and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce to the pot, then use chopsticks to stir well until dissolved.
When the water boils again, add the beef and sliced chili to blanch for about 3 – 5 minutes, then take it out onto a plate and it’s done.

Final Product

How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Beef Tenderloin
- You should prioritize choosing a piece of beef that is bright red, with soft, fine fibers that do not appear too smooth.
- If you gently press on a good piece of beef, it will have a firm texture and good elasticity, not sticky to the touch, and there should be no unpleasant or unusual odor.
- Do not buy pieces of beef that are pale green or dark red, with dark yellow fat, white spots on the fibers, and a mushy, slimy texture when touched.

How to choose fresh and delicious mustard greens
- Choose stalks of mustard greens that have a beautiful green color, and are not wilted, infested with pests, or bruised.
- The best mustard greens are from September to April. During this time, they will be very young, with green, thin leaves and thick stalks.
- Do not choose mustard greens that have flowered, as they will be old and taste very bitter and pungent.
Tips for cleaning beef properly, without odor
- For beef, you should not wash it, as this will easily cause the beef to lose its nutrients. Instead, you should just use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the surface of the beef!
- To reduce the odor of beef, you can roast a piece of ginger briefly, then crush it and rub it on the surface of the meat, then wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
