How to make Beef Salad with Herbs

• 1

  Prepare and marinate the beef

  Wash the beef thoroughly, then drain and slice it thinly to your liking.

  Place the beef in a bowl, add 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 2 drops of sesame oil, 1.5 teaspoons of oyster sauce, and 1 teaspoon of chili sauce, and marinate for 5 minutes.

  Effective ways to remove the unpleasant smell of beef

  • To utilize available ingredients at home, you can take a sufficient amount of salt and rub it onto the piece of beef, let it sit for 5 minutes, then rinse it with water to help reduce the unpleasant smell.
  • Soaking the beef in white wine for 15 minutes and then rinsing it with clean water is another option for removing the smell of beef.
  • Alternatively, mixing a bit of lemon juice or vinegar with the beef and letting it sit for a few minutes before rinsing will make the beef smell much better.
  • Using roasted ginger, peeling it, and then crushing it, rubbing ginger onto the beef and rinsing it with water will help eliminate the smell of beef with its strong aroma.

  Make the salad dressing

  Place a pan on the stove, add 40g of sugar, 50ml of fish sauce, and 60g of chili sauce, and cook the mixture until the sugar dissolves and thickens on low heat for 3 minutes.

  Take 1 bell pepper, wash it, remove the seeds, then blanch it in boiling water until soft, then put it into a blender along with 50g of calamondin juice (about 200g of calamondin), and blend until the pepper is finely pureed.

  When the mixture in the pan has completely cooled, add it to dissolve, stirring well until everything is combined.

  Mix the herbs

  You put the prepared herbs into a bowl, add 4 tablespoons (or more, depending on your taste) of salad dressing, then use your hands to mix evenly so that the herbs absorb the seasoning well.

  Note: While mixing the salad, you should not squeeze too hard as it will bruise the herbs, making them unappetizing.

  Stir-fried beef

  You peel and finely chop 3 cloves of garlic.

  Heat a pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, then add the garlic to sauté until fragrant.

  Next, add the beef to the pan and stir-fry until just cooked, then turn off the heat; do not leave it too long as it will become tough.

  Place the salad and herbs on a plate, then add the beef on top and garnish with cilantro or chili to finish!

  Note: The beef after stir-frying will be very hot, so you should stir-fry the beef when using it right away or let it cool before adding it to the fresh herbs to avoid cooking them too much and losing their flavor.
