How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh beef tenderloin
- To choose good beef tenderloin, you should observe the color of the meat. Fresh meat usually has a bright red color, not dark red, and the fat should be light yellow, with white tendons.
- You should choose small and tender pieces of meat, with fine fibers, and when pressed, they should spring back well.
- If you see small, white nodules that easily detach from the meat, it may be a sign of parasites. You should also avoid small pieces of meat that have already been cut, as they often contain parasites.
How to choose fresh delicious oranges
- Good oranges will still have a stem; when touched, the stem feels firmly attached and cannot be easily removed by hand.
- Choose oranges with fresh skin; when touched, they feel smooth and shiny, and when gently squeezed, oil should be released.
- It is best to choose oranges that are uniformly round, feel firm in hand, and have a yellowish bottom. Additionally, pay attention to the crown of the orange; if it is recessed compared to the surrounding surface, it is likely to be a juicy orange.
- Avoid choosing oranges with soft, wrinkled skin and dark brown spots, as these are usually not fresh and may show signs of rotting or spoilage.
How to choose fresh delicious carrots
-
Fresh delicious carrots should be of moderate size, straight and tapered towards the tail, with a smooth skin, firm to hold, and slightly crunchy.
-
Select carrots that have a deep bright orange color, with green leaves that are still fresh and tightly attached to the root.
-
Avoid carrots with wilted tops, bruised bodies, slimy sections, or dark spots; if pressed, they should feel firm.
-
Do not choose excessively large carrots with thick tops and shoulders, as these tend to be older, containing more fibers and fewer nutrients.

How to choose fresh and delicious potatoes
- It is advisable to buy potatoes that feel firm in hand, heavy, with smooth skin, intact, and have a yellow color
- Select potatoes without deep dents to make the preparation before cooking quicker and easier.
- Avoid choosing potatoes with spots, pests, black eyes on the skin, not rotten, with liquid oozing out.
- Do not choose potatoes that have sprouted or have a greenish outer layer; these potatoes are very toxic and harmful to people’s health.
How to prepare Beef with orange sauce
-
Prepare the beef
First, wash the beef clean, drain, and cut into small pieces.
Then, sprinkle a little salt on both sides of the beef and marinate for about 15 minutes.
How to prepare beef without smell
- To eliminate the fishy smell of beef, you can use white wine, lemon juice, or vinegar to soak the beef for 15 minutes, then just rinse with cold water.
- Or you can grill a small piece of ginger, peel it, and rub it on the beef, then simply rinse with cold water.
- Note that you should leave the beef piece whole to prepare for odor removal.

Prepare other ingredients
Wash the orange peel and cut it into thin strips.
Peel the potatoes and carrots, then wash them and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
Next, wash the water spinach and let it drain.
-
Sear the beef
Place a skillet on the stove, add about 4 tablespoons of cooking oil, and heat over high heat.
When the oil is hot, add the beef and sear each side for about 45 seconds to 1 minute until the outside of the beef is browned.
Note: For searing beef on an induction stove, set the temperature to 2000. For a gas stove, sear the beef over medium-high heat.
-
Beef sauce with orange juice
After searing the beef, lower the heat to medium and add 350ml of yellow orange juice, 10gr of grated orange peel, 1/4 tablespoon of salt, 1.5 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of seasoning.
Next, turn the meat on all sides for about 15 minutes to absorb the sauce evenly.
After 15 minutes, add the pre-prepared vegetables and cook for another 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, place the beef on a plate and continue cooking the vegetables for another 5 minutes.
Finally, just cook the sauce mixture until it thickens slightly to finish.
Tip: You can check the consistency of the sauce by dipping a spoon into it. Then, swipe your finger down the middle of the spoon; if the two sides of the sauce remain intact and do not run together, it is done.
-
Completion
First, use a knife to slice the beef into thin, bite-sized pieces and arrange them on a plate.
Next, add the vegetables to the plate, drizzle with orange sauce, and garnish with water spinach to complete.
