How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh young beef
- You should choose young beef that has a bright red color with interspersed white marbling, the fat should be bright yellow and the skin should be bright white.
- When touched, it should feel firm with good elasticity, not soft and mushy. The meat fibers should appear tender, small, and not too fine.
- Avoid buying beef that has turned pale green or dark red, with dark yellow fat, or shows unusual white spots or tiny dots on the surface.
- Additionally, if the meat is mushy and slimy, especially if it emits a strong fishy smell, it means the meat has been stored for too long and is no longer usable.
- For this dish, you should use young beef brisket for the best flavor!
How to choose fresh and delicious pineapple
- Usually, pineapples that have a mild sweetness will have a very eye-catching yellow color, attractive with some green mixed in, and when pressed, they feel moderately soft.
- Most of the fruits that are slightly round and short always have more flesh compared to the long ones. Additionally, those with larger eyes are naturally ripe fruits that are not artificially ripened, and when peeling, they do not lose too much flesh.
- Moreover, you can also rely on the fragrance to choose. Avoid fruits with an overly strong smell as they spoil quickly; if the fruit does not emit any scent, it has not yet reached the necessary ripeness.
- Avoid buying fruits that feel dented when touched or have distinctly uneven colors or are too green, indicating they are still unripe; conversely, those with dark brown colors are overripe, fermenting, and about to spoil.
How to choose and where to buy various types of fish sauce
- Look for fermented fish sauce at the TasteVN store near your home, or buy online at bachhoaxanh.com.
- Additionally, you can find fermented fish sauce or anchovy sauce at markets, supermarkets, convenience stores, or e-commerce sites; be sure to choose reputable stores and check the product’s expiration date!

Prepare the beef
First, wash the beef with diluted salt water, then rinse it with clean water several times.

How to eliminate the smell of beef- Method 1: You can eliminate the smell of beef by grinding ginger, roasting it, and rubbing it over the meat, then rinse it clean.
- Method 2: Additionally, alcohol is also very effective by soaking the meat in alcohol for just 15 minutes!

Prepare the other ingredients
For the pineapple, peel and remove the eyes, then cut it into 2 thick slices, and cut the remaining part into small pieces.
Next, take the lemongrass, trim the ends, wash it, and cut it into segments. As for the ginger, wash it thoroughly and then crush it.
Quick and simple way to peel pineapple- To peel the pineapple quickly, first remove the skin, then stand the pineapple upright, identify the eyes at a diagonal angle, and use a knife to cut on both sides to remove the eyes completely.
- Alternatively, there is another simple method which is to peel it standing up. Similar to the previous method, but you will identify the eyes in a vertical direction.
- Additionally, if you choose to peel and remove the eyes at the same time, first cut the pineapple in half lengthwise, then flip it upside down onto the cutting board, and use a knife to closely cut the flesh to remove both the skin and the eyes. If there are any remaining eyes, just trim them a bit, and you’re done.
