Prepare and marinate the beef
First, after purchasing, wash the beef with clean water. To remove the odor of the beef, take a piece of ginger, crush it, and rub it all over the piece of meat for about 2 minutes. Next, wash the meat with diluted saltwater, then rinse it again with clean water.
How to clean beef properly, without odor:
- Method 1: Mix white alcohol with a crushed piece of ginger and use it to rub the piece of meat for about 2 minutes, then rinse it clean under cold running water and let it drain.
- Method 2: After washing, soak the piece of beef in fresh milk for about 10 minutes, then rinse it with water. This method helps to remove the beef odor while making the meat more flavorful.
