How to choose fresh beef
- You should choose pieces of meat that are of moderate size, looking soft.
- Fresh and delicious beef will have a bright red color mixed with white streaks, while the fat is bright yellow. The meat should have good firmness and elasticity. When you press your hand into the meat, it should not feel sticky, and the meat should not be slimy. Especially, it should not have a sour smell.
- Absolutely do not buy meat that is dark red or has a greenish tint, with dark yellow fat, showing white spots, and meat that smells sour.
How to choose quality carrots
- When buying, you should choose carrots of moderate size, feeling firm when picked up. Because carrots that are too large or too small will have a lot of fibers and are not tasty.
- Good carrots will have a bright orange color, the outer skin looks shiny, smooth, not rough, scratched, or have strange tiny spots.
- It is best to buy carrots that still have their tops intact, and the tops are not wilted or bruised.
- Avoid buying carrots that are soft, with lush leaves at the base, and a large core because these will not be sweet.
How to choose fresh and delicious green squash
- The signs for you to recognize fresh squash are that the fruit is large, looks plump, and has a green skin. In contrast, older fruits will be black, have many seeds inside, and will taste sour when eaten.
- To buy young fruit, you should choose those that feel heavy and firm when held. The skin should be hard but can be pressed with a fingernail. Avoid buying soft fruits as they have wilted.
- A thick and plump stem is also a sign of a young squash. These fruits will have a distinctive sweet taste when eaten.

Prepare the ingredients
After cleaning the beef, slice it about 1cm thick and put it in a bowl.
How to clean beef without unpleasant odors- You can use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the piece of beef and then rinse it with clean water. This method will eliminate the unpleasant smell without losing the quality of the beef.
- Alternatively, you can take a piece of ginger, roast it until cooked, and then pound the ginger into a paste. Next, just rub the paste on the beef for about 5 minutes, then rinse it with water. With this method, ginger not only effectively removes odors but also enhances the flavor of the dish.
Peel the carrots, wash them clean, cut them into pieces about 5cm long, and then cut them in half. After that, proceed to shape them into oblong pieces.
Similarly, for the green melon and yellow melon, after washing them clean, cut them into pieces about 5cm long, and then cut them in half. After that, shape them into oblong pieces.
For the chili and cilantro, wash them clean and then chop them finely.

Prepare the ingredients
Buy pre-cut beef tenderloin from the market or supermarket to save time and get thinner cuts that you prefer. Place the beef in a bowl and marinate with 1 teaspoon of MSG, 1 tablespoon of fried garlic, 1 tablespoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of cooking oil, and 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch. Let the meat absorb the flavors for about 30 minutes.
Tips: To make the beef softer and fattier when eaten, you should add 1 tablespoon of tapioca starch while marinating the meat. Tapioca starch helps the beef retain its tenderness, sweetness, and prevents it from drying out when cooked.Peel the onion, wash it clean, and then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
For the passion fruit, take the pulp and place it in a bowl without filtering the seeds.
For the vegetable shoots, discard the tough parts, wash them clean, and let them drain.

Make the passion fruit sauce
Place a pan on the stove, add the passion fruit, 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of fried garlic, 10 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of chili sauce, and 8 tablespoons of fish sauce. Simmer on low heat for 10 minutes until the passion fruit boils, then add 1 tablespoon of diluted tapioca starch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water and stir well for a smooth mixture.
Continue to cook the mixture for another 5 minutes and then turn off the heat. When the mixture cools down a bit, strain it through a sieve to remove the seeds, resulting in a thick and fragrant passion fruit sauce.
Tip:- Keep the passion fruit seeds while cooking the sauce to enhance the aroma and the sour flavor.
- Do not add too much tapioca starch to the sauce because when the beef is combined with the sauce, it will thicken, and adding too much tapioca starch can cause the sauce to clump together easily.
