How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- Fresh beef has a bright red color, interspersed with white streaks and a layer of fat that is bright yellow.
- You should choose pieces of beef that have good elasticity, tender texture, are not too smooth, have no strange smells, and are not watery.
- You should not choose pieces of beef that feel mushy when pressed with your hand, have a pale green or dark red color, have dark yellow fat, are watery, or feel sticky when held.
How to choose fresh green pepper
- Fresh green pepper is when the peppercorns are still tightly attached in clusters, not falling apart into individual grains.
- You should choose peppercorns that are shiny green, firm, and not wilted. The spiciness of the pepper depends on the outer color of the peppercorns; light green ones are usually less spicy and pungent than those that are dark green.
- Avoid choosing peppercorns that look wrinkled. These peppercorns are usually dried out and have been stored for a long time, which will reduce the natural aroma of the pepper when processed.

Preparation and marinating beef
After purchasing the beef, rinse it with clean water and let it drain. Once the beef is drained, cut it into bite-sized pieces, about the size of two knuckles.
After cutting the beef, add the seasonings including 1/2 spoon of salt, 1/3 spoon of seasoning powder, 1/3 spoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of fish sauce, and 1/3 of green pepper to marinate the beef for about 15 – 20 minutes.
How to eliminate the smell of beef and cut meat properly
- To eliminate the smell of beef, you can use a piece of ginger that has been roasted, crushed and rub it on the surface of the beef, then rinse the meat with clean water.
- To make the beef easier to cut, place it in the freezer of the refrigerator until the surface of the meat starts to freeze and then take it out.
- Additionally, to make the meat pieces softer and more visually appealing, when cutting, place the knife perpendicular to the grain of the meat and cut decisively.

Making green peppercorn beef stew
Put a pot on the stove, add garlic and half of the remaining green peppercorns to the pot to sauté. When the garlic and green peppercorns start to smell fragrant, add the beef and stir-fry until the meat starts to firm up.
When the beef has firmed up and absorbed the spices, add about 50ml of water and stew for another 5 – 7 minutes over medium heat so the beef cooks evenly and absorbs the seasonings.
When the stew’s liquid begins to reduce and thicken, add the chopped green onions, chili, and the remaining green peppercorns and stew for about 1 more minute, then turn off the heat.
Tip: To make the beef tender and evenly seasoned, you can occasionally stir the beef with chopsticks while stewing.
