How to prepare Purple Cabbage Beef Salad

• 1

  Prepare and marinate the beef

  Wash the beef with clean water, then place the meat in the freezer refrigerator for 1 – 2 hours to help the beef firm up and be easier to cut. Afterwards, take the beef out, slice it thinly, and place it in a bowl.

  Marinate the beef in the bowl with 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, mix well, and let it marinate for about 10 – 15 minutes for the beef to absorb the flavors.

  How to clean beef and remove odor: Use a clean cloth to dry the meat, then take roasted ginger, mash it up, and rub it evenly over the piece of meat, then rinse it with clean water. This method will help the beef be clean, reduce the odor, and retain its nutrients.
