Prepare beef and other ingredients
To clean the beef more thoroughly, rinse the meat with diluted salt water, then rinse again with clean water and let it drain.
How to eliminate the smell of beef:
- Method 1: Roast a piece of ginger until cooked, scrape off the blackened outer layer, then pound the ginger and rub it over the beef, leaving it for about 3 minutes before rinsing with clean water.
- Method 2: Since beef is not a strongly scented meat, you can also rinse it briefly with diluted salt water. To avoid losing nutrients in the meat, avoid washing it too thoroughly as it may become tough and lose flavor.

Cut the beef into moderately thin slices, depending on your family’s preference.
Tips for easily slicing beef thinly
- Place in the freezer of the refrigerator until the meat is slightly frozen; when the beef is firm, it will be easier to slice.
- Use a very sharp knife and slice decisively.
All vegetables used for dipping in the hot pot should be soaked in salt water and rinsed clean with water.
Peeled garlic, trimmed lemongrass, and chop both together with 2 chili peppers, while leaving 1 chili pepper to slice thinly.
Clean the eggplant, and you can peel a little or leave the skin on. Cut the eggplant into bite-sized pieces.
