How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- Fresh and delicious beef is usually bright red, with white marbling, especially bright yellow fat.

- Avoid buying beef that is too mushy and has tiny spots on the surface, or emits a strong foul odor, as that indicates spoiled beef.

Prepare the ingredients
First, with 400 grams of beef you bought, rinse it briefly with 2 tablespoons of vinegar diluted for 1 – 2 minutes, then rinse again with clean water, let it drain or use a clean dry cloth to wipe the surface, and use a knife to slice it thinly for eating.
Peel the onion, then cut it into wedges. For the lemongrass, remove the root, wash it directly under running water until clean, let it drain, then peel and chop it finely along with the garlic. Finally, for the chili, remove the stem and chop it finely.
How to clean beef properly, without odor
- Method 1: You can soak the beef in rice wine for 15 minutes, then rinse it several times with clean water.
- Method 2: Alternatively, you can use a mixture of lemon and vinegar to rub all over the meat for a few minutes.
- Method 3: Another simple way is to marinate the meat with shallots or dried onions during the marination process!
