Green beans 300 gr Beef 100 gr Cooking oil 2 tablespoons Green onion 1 stalk Minced garlic 1 teaspoon Oyster sauce 1 teaspoon Common spices a little (salt/ seasoning powder/ monosodium glutamate/ pepper)
How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- Good beef has a bright red color, fine grain, light yellow fat, feels firm and elastic when pressed, and has a characteristic beef smell.
- If the meat is dark red, has thick grain, and dark yellow fat, it is old beef, which is very tough to eat. If the meat is dark red, has white fat, and has a slightly fishy smell, it is buffalo meat.
- Additionally, do not buy if you see beef that is dull in color, soft and watery, or has a rancid smell.
How to prepare Stir-fried Green Beans with Beef
-
Prepare the ingredients
The beef you buy should be massaged with salt and then rinsed clean. To make it easier to slice the beef, put it in the freezer refrigerator for about 10 – 15 minutes.
How to prepare beef to avoid unpleasant odors
- To reduce the smell of beef, after washing, rinse it again with white wine or soak the meat in wine for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Additionally, marinating beef with roasted shallots that are then crushed can also help reduce the smell of beef.

Next, take the beef out and slice it thinly against the grain. Mix the beef with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Marinate for about 15 minutes for the beef to absorb the seasonings.
Wash the green beans, peel the ends, and cut them into pieces about the length of a finger. Wash the scallions and chop them finely.

Stir-fried green beans
Using the same pan as for the beef, add the green beans to stir-fry, seasoning with a teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, stir well for about 5 minutes until the beans are just cooked.
Next, add the beef and green onions to the pan with the green beans, stir to mix the beef evenly with the beans, then add 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, stir a few more times, adjust the seasoning to taste, turn off the stove.
Serve the stir-fried beef with green beans on a plate, garnish for a nice presentation and it is ready to enjoy.
