  Stir well to let the beef absorb the spices for about 15 minutes.

  Prepare other ingredients

  Peel and cut the onion into wedges.

  Green onions, cilantro, and celery should have their roots removed, washed, and drained. Then cut the onion and celery into pieces.

  How to cut onions without crying

  • To avoid crying when cutting onions, place the onions in the refrigerator for 15 – 20 minutes before preparation.
  • A simpler method is to use a fan to blow in the direction you are sitting, so that the wind blows the onion juice away from your eyes while cutting.
  • Alternatively, you can cut a slice of potato and rub it on both sides of the knife before cutting.
  • Additionally, soaking the onion in water for 10 – 15 minutes is also very effective.
