How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Beef
- You should choose fresh pieces of meat that are dark red, bright and uniform in color.
- Choose beef when touching the surface of the meat; it should not feel sticky, but rather have a dry layer on the outside.
- Fresh beef, when smelled, should have the characteristic scent of raw meat without any strange odor, so you should choose it.
- Gently press on the meat; if it is fresh, you will feel its good elasticity.
- Do not choose beef when the color is uneven or has an unusual smell.
- Avoid choosing pieces of beef that have coarse fibers; if you touch them and they feel wet, it is because they have been pumped with water.

Prepare the beef
After purchasing, wash the beef thoroughly and cut it into bite-sized pieces.
How to clean beef without odor:
- Roast 1 piece of ginger until cooked, scrape off the burnt outer layer, then mash the ginger and rub it onto the beef, let it sit for about 3 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
- Since beef does not have a strong smell, you can also simply rinse it with clean water.
- Avoid washing too thoroughly as it can remove nutrients from the meat, making it less tasty.

Marinate the beef
The beef, after being prepared, will be marinated with 1 teaspoon of minced shallots, 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of ginger powder, 1 teaspoon of fish sauce, 1 teaspoon of oyster sauce, 1 teaspoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of chili paste, 1/2 teaspoon of ground pepper, and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Massage thoroughly to ensure the beef absorbs the spices evenly.
To enhance the flavor of the dish, add another teaspoon of chili powder, continue to massage well, and let the beef marinate for about 30 minutes.

Stir-fry the beef
Place a pan on the stove, wait for it to heat up, then add the marinated beef and stir-fry over medium heat.
Stir-fry until the beef firms up, then add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, stir to ensure the beef absorbs all the oil and is fully cooked, then turn off the heat.
-
Pound finely
Put the stir-fried beef into a mortar and pound until the meat fibers break apart. You should pound vigorously to make the meat fluffy quickly; if you don’t have time, you can put it in a blender, but doing so will cause the meat to become mushy and lose its flavor.
