How to prepare Grilled Five-Spice Beef using charcoal
-
Prepare the beef
Once you purchase the beef, use salt to rub the surface to eliminate odors as well as clean blood and impurities. Then rinse thoroughly with water and let it drain.
Use a knife to cut the beef into large pieces, following the grain of the meat to avoid making it crumbly. Each piece of meat should be about 1/3 of a finger thick.
Tip: Depending on your preference, to keep the beef from drying out and make it tastier after grilling, you can cut the meat a little thicker.
-
Preparing the accompanying vegetables
Separate the lettuce leaves, and cut the purple and green cabbage into thin strips. Then soak the vegetables in a diluted saltwater solution for 5 – 10 minutes to clean off any dirt, then rinse with clean water and drain.
Wash the tomatoes, slice them thinly, and set them aside on a plate in preparation for decoration.

Marinating the beef
Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of five-spice powder, 1 tablespoon of satay, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and seasonings including 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/2 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of ground pepper into a bowl.
Mix well to create a sauce, then add the beef and mix with the sauce, marinating for 20 – 30 minutes to allow the sauce to evenly penetrate the beef.

Grilled Beef
To grill the meat, you first need to heat the charcoal. Once the charcoal is glowing red, place the grill on the stove and then put the meat on the grill.
Grill the beef for about 5 – 7 minutes on each side until the surface of the meat is sealed and fragrant, then transfer the beef to a plate.
Garnish the beef with tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, and a bit of chili sauce to make it visually appealing and you can enjoy it right away.
Tip:
- To make the beef tastier and more aromatic, it is recommended to use charcoal for grilling the meat.
- To prevent your beef from being tough and dry, do not grill the meat for too long.
- If you do not have a charcoal stove, you can grill the meat using an oven. First, preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius for 10 minutes. Then place the meat on a baking tray or grill and put it into the oven. Grill the meat in the oven for 8 – 10 minutes at 150 – 160 degrees Celsius.
