How to choose fresh, delicious beef
- To choose good beef, select pieces that are bright red, with light yellow fat and white tendons.
- Choose pieces with small, tender fibers, not too fine.
- When you press the meat with your hand, if it has good elasticity, does not stick to your hand, and has no unpleasant odor, then it is good meat.
- For beef steak, you should choose outside tenderloin, inside tenderloin, or shoulder tenderloin. These cuts will be softer and sweeter when making steak.
How to make Grilled Beef Salad
-
Make the beef marinade
Put into a bowl 1 teaspoon of palm sugar, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1 teaspoon of pepper, then stir well until the sugar dissolves.
-
Prepare and marinate the beef
Wash the beef and let it drain. Then, cover the piece of meat with a sheet of parchment paper and use a pestle or pot to pound it until the beef becomes tender and flaky.
Next, put the beef into the marinade bowl, mix well to absorb the seasoning, and let it marinate for 5 minutes.
-
Roasting and grinding sticky rice
Place a pan on the stove and heat it over medium heat, then add 1 tablespoon of sticky rice and roast it over low heat until the rice turns yellow, then turn off the heat.
Next, put the rice into a mortar and grind it until fine.
Tip: If you have a blender, you can use it to grind the sticky rice; the flour will be finer! -
Grilling beef in a pan
Place a new pan on the stove, add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and heat it over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, add the beef and grill it over low heat until it is just cooked, with the outside firm and slightly charred at the edges.
Tip: To keep the beef tender and juicy, you should only grill it until just done, then let the beef cool before cutting it into small pieces. -
Make salad dressing
Put 2 teaspoons of palm sugar, 3 tablespoons of palm sugar, 2 teaspoons of chili powder, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and the ground roasted sticky rice into a bowl and stir well.
-
Mix the salad
Peel and slice the red onion into thin pieces. Similarly, cut the beef into bite-sized pieces.
Next, add the prepared red onion, beef, and salad dressing into a bowl and mix well.
Then, add 15g of mint leaves, cilantro, and chopped green onions, and mix one more time to finish.
Tip: If you want it spicier, you can add a little more chili powder. -
