How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- To choose good beef, you should observe the color of the meat. Good meat usually has a bright red color, not dark red, and the beef fat should be light yellow.
- You should choose small and tender pieces of meat, with fine fibers, and when you press it, it should have good elasticity.
- If you see small white nodules on the meat that can easily detach, it is likely that it is a tapeworm, so you should not buy it.
- Avoid buying pre-cut small pieces of meat as they will not taste good when cooked.
How to prepare Dandelion Stir-fried with Beef
-
Prep and marinate the beef
After purchasing the beef, rinse it briefly with water and then soak it in a diluted saltwater solution for about 10 minutes.
Next, remove the beef, rinse it again with clean water, and use a knife to cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.
Place the beef on a plate and marinate it with 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, and 1 tablespoon of roasted sesame, mixing well. Let the beef marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Tip: To prevent the beef from having a strong odor during cooking, after slicing the meat, marinate it with a bit of ginger or minced garlic!
-
Prep the vegetables
Remove any old, yellowed, or damaged leaves from the dandelion, then cut it into pieces about 2 finger lengths.
After that, wash the vegetables with water until clean and let them drain.
-
Stir-fry the vegetables
Add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan. Place the pan on the stove and heat the oil, then add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Once the garlic is golden and aromatic, add the beef and stir-fry quickly over high heat until the beef is just cooked, then add the dandelion to stir-fry together.
Stir continuously and cook for an additional 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender, season to taste, turn off the heat, and serve the stir-fried vegetables on a plate.
