Ingredients for Stir-fried Butter Beef Serves 4 people

How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose beef that is bright red, with bright yellow fat, and some white streaks in the meat.
- Fresh beef will not have a foul smell. You should prioritize soft, small cuts of beef, and when you press lightly with your hand, you can feel its elasticity.
- You should not buy beef that is dark red, has white spots on it, and feels slimy and mushy to the touch, as that indicates the beef has been stored for too long and is not of good quality.
How to choose fresh, delicious, and creamy avocados
- To buy good avocados, you should select those with green skin, covered with tiny yellow spots, and with smooth, shiny skin.
- When holding the avocado, it should feel firm and heavy; gently squeeze it to feel softness, indicating that it is ripe. Bring the avocado close to your ear and shake it lightly; if it’s a good avocado, you will hear the seed rattling inside.
- A perfectly ripe avocado will have a stem that is slightly yellowish. A green stem means the avocado is not ripe, and if it has been harvested for a long time, the stem will be dark brown.
- You should not buy avocados with many scratches on the outer skin or those that feel overly soft when squeezed gently, as these are likely overripe or spoiled.
How to prepare Stir-fried Butter with Beef
-
Prepare the ingredients
Buy beef, wash it clean, let it drain, then slice it thinly about 400g.
Wash the butter, peel it, cut it lengthwise, remove the seed, and slice 1 piece thinly.
Take 1 tomato, wash it clean, let it drain, and cut it into thin round slices. 10g of lettuce and 3g of coriander should be carefully picked, roots removed, washed clean, and then let drain.
How to clean beef without a smell- Method 1: Roast a piece of ginger until cooked, scrape off the burned skin, then pound it finely and rub it on the beef so that the ginger aroma overpowers the smell of the beef.
- Method 2: You can soak the beef in a little white wine for about 15 minutes, then wash it with clean water and let it drain.
- Method 3: Use salt to rub all over the piece of beef, let it rest for about 5 minutes, then wash it with clean water and let it drain.

Marinate the beef and the avocado
Place 400g of prepared beef in a bowl, marinate with 2 teaspoons of paprika, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 2 tablespoons of cooking oil, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, use chopsticks to mix well so that the meat absorbs the spices, then let the meat rest for 20 minutes.
Put 1 sliced avocado into a pot, add 2 teaspoons of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, mix well and let it sit for 20 minutes to allow the avocado to absorb the spices.
