How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to choose fresh beef
- To choose good beef, you should observe the color of the meat piece. Fresh meat usually has a bright red color, not dark red, and the fat should be pale yellow.
- Choose small and tender pieces of meat, with a fine grain and good elasticity when pressed.
- If you see small white nodules on the meat that are easy to detach, it may be tapeworms. You should also limit buying pre-cut small pieces of meat, as they often contain tapeworms.
How to choose delicious bell peppers
- You should choose bell peppers with a base divided into 3 sections; these peppers will be tastier, crunchier, and have a richer flavor when stir-fried.
- Choose those with a smooth, shiny, and firm surface, and still have their stem.
- Select bright-colored peppers that are not too light, as these will be fresher and more nutritious.
- Avoid those that are bruised, waterlogged, have wrinkled skin, or wilted stems.
How to choose delicious onions
- Choose round onions of moderate size, with smooth outer skin and a light brown color.
- Select onions that still have a few roots attached at the bottom, with the tip of the bulb not overly wilted or damaged.
- Avoid buying bulbs that have sprouted green shoots, are bruised, or have many black spots around them.
- Limit buying large onions that look shiny and beautiful on the outside, as these may have been affected by growth hormones.

How to prepare Beef Bell Pepper Salad

Prepare and marinate the beef
Wash the beef with salt water, using your hands to scrub thoroughly to remove all dirt from the meat. Use absorbent paper to dry it, then slice it thinly against the grain.
Tips for preparing beef without the smell:- Peel a ginger root, then lightly roast it, after which you can cut it thinly or smash it, and rub it evenly on the beef. Afterward, rinse it with clean water.
- You can soak the beef in white wine for about 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water before cooking.
You put the sliced beef in a bowl and marinate it with 1 teaspoon of seasoning, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Mix the beef with the spices well, then let it marinate for about 30 minutes for the beef to absorb the flavors.

Prepare other ingredients
Cut the green stem off the bell pepper, remove the seeds, wash it clean, and slice it thinly.
Remove the roots from the cilantro, wash it under running water until clean, drain, and then cut it into sections.
Peel the onion, and slice it into thin wedges.
Tip: To prevent the onion from being too pungent, after slicing, soak the onion in a bowl of ice water, then marinate it with a little sugar and lemon juice. This way, the onion will remain crunchy without being spicy.

Stir-fried beef
Put 2 tablespoons of cooking oil into the pan, heat on medium-high until the oil is hot, then add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
When the garlic is aromatic, add the marinated beef to the pan, stir-fry until the beef is cooked through and no longer red, then turn off the heat.
Tip: While stir-frying, stir quickly to ensure the beef cooks evenly and remains tender and sweet, without becoming tough.

Make the dressing
In a bowl, add 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of water, 1.5 teaspoons of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of fish sauce. Stir well to dissolve the ingredients together.
Depending on your taste, you can add more sugar, lemon juice, or fish sauce to adjust the flavor.

Mix the salad
In a bowl, combine bell peppers, onions, stir-fried beef, and the dressing, then use your hands to gently mix and squeeze the ingredients together until they are well combined and infused.
