How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh, quality beef tail
- Good beef tail will have white tendons, bright red meat, and when touched, it feels firm with good elasticity.
- You should choose beef tail with bright yellow fat and slightly yellowish skin.
- Avoid choosing beef tail that has a bad smell or soft, mushy meat, as this indicates spoiled, low-quality beef tail.
How to choose fresh, undamaged tomatoes
- Fresh, good tomatoes will have a light, pleasant natural scent, and the skin will be evenly bright red.
- You should choose tomatoes that still have fresh green stems attached.
- Avoid buying tomatoes with yellow seeds or wilted, detached stems, as these are not fresh tomatoes.
How to choose fresh carrots
- You should choose carrots that are elongated, with bright orange, smooth skin.
- Fresh carrots will have a small core, and when held, they feel firm.
- Avoid choosing carrots that are too large or too small, have scratched skin, or large cores, as these are fibrous carrots that are less sweet.

Once the onion and garlic are golden, add all the prepared beef tail to the pot and cook on low heat for about 20 minutes until the beef tail firms up.
Next, add the prepared tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and 2 grams of pepper to the pot and stir-fry, mixing well.
Then, add 1 tablespoon of rosemary leaves, chopped carrots, and 50 grams of diced beef to the pot, and continue to stir-fry for about 5 – 7 minutes.
