Prepare the beef
After washing the beef thoroughly, allow it to drain. Next, cut the beef into thin slices and chop finely.
Tip:
- To prevent the beef from losing its quality, use a clean damp cloth to wipe the beef or eliminate the smell by rubbing it with crushed ginger and rinsing it with clean water.
- You can place the beef in a zip bag and put it in the freezer until it is slightly firm, which will make it easier to cut into thin slices.
- It’s best to use a large, sharp knife for slicing. When slicing, hold the knife perpendicular to the grain of the beef and cut decisively.
