  Prepare and marinate the beef

  The beef tenderloin you buy should be washed clean with diluted salt water and then rinsed with clean water.

  Next, use a clean damp cloth or paper towel to wipe around the piece of meat to remove excess water, then cut the meat against the grain into slices about 1/2 – 1 finger thick, depending on your preference.

  Then, add a little salt and a little pepper and use your hands to rub the spices evenly over all sides of the meat, then marinate for 10 – 15 minutes for the meat to absorb the seasonings. To make the beef softer, you can gently pound both sides of the beef!

  How to clean beef without unpleasant smell:

  • Method 1: Soak the beef in white wine for 15 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
  • Method 2: Put the beef in a pot of water, heat for about 3 – 5 minutes, then take it out and rinse it to reduce the smell. Note that you should only heat it to about 50 degrees Celsius, not boil it.
  • Method 3: Use lemon or vinegar to rub on the piece of beef for 5 – 7 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
  • Method 4: Roast a piece of ginger, then crush it, rub it on the piece of beef, and then rinse it clean.

  Make teriyaki mushroom sauce

  Place a pan on the stove and add 10ml of olive oil (about nearly 1 tablespoon) to the pan, wait for the oil to heat up, then add the oyster mushrooms and stir-fry on high heat.

  When you see the mushrooms start to release water, add 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce, 1/2 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. At this point, stir well to combine the mushrooms and the spices.

  Reduce the heat to low and stir-fry the mushrooms for about 2 more minutes, then add 50ml of unsweetened fresh milk and stir until the sauce thickens.

  Tip: Avoid cooking for too long or over high heat, as this will cause the sauce to burn and reduce!

  Making cheese sauce

  Place another pan on the stove and add 100g of unsalted butter to melt, then add 100ml of unsweetened fresh milk into the pan. Simmer the mixture over low heat until the milk starts to bubble, then add 4 slices of cheese and stir well until the cheese completely melts and blends into the milk.

  Next, mix 2 tablespoons of water with 2 teaspoons of cornstarch, then gradually add the cornstarch to the cheese milk mixture and stir well until the cheese sauce thickens, achieving a moderate stickiness.

  Tip:

  • To create a natural saltiness for the sauce, which will taste better, you should use cheddar cheese.
  • To avoid the sauce becoming solid and forming a film on the surface, which will lose its deliciousness when eaten, you should simmer the sauce over the lowest heat possible.

  Pan-seared beef

  First, heat the pan with 150ml of olive oil, then add 50gr of unsalted butter to melt.

  Next, add garlic and onion to the pan and sauté until fragrant, then lower the heat and add each piece of beef, searing each side for about 1 minute. After that, add the remaining 50gr of unsalted butter and baste the surface of each piece of beef to enhance its flavor and richness.

  When you see the meat turning slightly charred on the outside, but when you press the chopsticks inside, it should still be tender and release juices, it’s done.

  Tip:

  • For each batch, sear 1 – 2 pieces of beef, then add a little more olive oil and continue to sear the remaining pieces of beef.
  • Since the heat is high, the garlic can easily burn and create an unpleasant smell when it sticks to the meat, so you should push the garlic to the side of the pan to avoid direct contact with the heat that causes it to burn.

  Mixing the salad

  First, mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice with 1 tablespoon of honey and 20ml of olive oil, then stir well to make the sweet and sour honey dressing.

  In a large bowl, cut the romaine lettuce into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, and add some American corn.

  Next, add 3 tablespoons of toasted sesame dressing and mix the dressing with the vegetables and fruit, then add the prepared honey dressing and continue to mix thoroughly.

  Tip:

  • To prevent the romaine lettuce from bruising and becoming bitter, be careful to mix the salad gently!
  • If you want a richer flavor, you can also add mayonnaise.
