Prepare the beef
After buying the beef, wash it with diluted salt water, then rinse gently with clean water and let it drain. Use paper towels or a clean cloth to dry the remaining moisture on the beef.
Then proceed to cut the beef into thin slices across the grain to prevent it from being chewy when eating.
Tip: When slicing beef for stir-frying, you simply need to slice it thinly and cut against the grain. Properly cutting the beef will help you cook the dish faster and make the meat tender! -
Marinate the beef
Marinate the beef with 1 spoon of seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cooking oil, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce.
Mix well to let the beef absorb the spices and marinate for 30 minutes.
Tip: Avoid marinating the beef with salt as it will make the beef tough! -
Prepare other ingredients
Cut the mushrooms in half and soak them in water with 1/3 teaspoon of salt, then rinse clean.
Cut the onion into wedges. Trim the roots and bad leaves off the green onions, wash them, and cut them into pieces about 2 finger lengths long. Peel and crush the garlic.

How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- To choose good beef, you should observe the color of the meat. Fresh and good beef usually has a bright red color, not dark red, and the fat is light yellow.
- You should choose smaller, tender pieces of meat with smooth fibers, and when pressed, they should have good elasticity.
- If you see small white nodules on the meat that are easy to detach, it could be a sign of parasites. You should also avoid pre-cut small pieces of meat, as they often contain parasites.
How to eliminate the smell of beef
- Roast 1 piece of ginger, scrape off the burnt outer layer, then crush the ginger and rub it on the beef, keeping it for about 3 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
- Since beef is not a strong-smelling meat, you can also rinse it briefly with clean water.
- Avoid washing too thoroughly as it will remove nutrients from the meat, making it less tasty.
