How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- For this dish, you should choose American or Australian beef steak for better flavor, as it is softer and more flavorful compared to Vietnamese beef.
- Choose beef that is bright red, with light yellow fat, and a fragrant smell.
- Pick pieces of meat that are small, tender, and have a fine texture. Pressing with your hand should show good elasticity.
- If you see the meat has small white nodules that easily detach, it may contain parasites, so avoid buying it.
- Avoid purchasing meat that is greenish-pink or dark red, with dark yellow fat, white spots on the meat, softness, or an unusual odor.

Prepare the beef
After purchasing the beef, use a knife to cut off excess fat.
To avoid affecting the flavor and nutritional quality of the beef, quickly rinse it with water and then wipe the piece of beef with a clean towel once more.
Effective tips to eliminate the smell of beef:- Method 1: To reduce the odor in the meat and make it softer and tastier when cooking, after washing the beef, you can rinse it with alcohol or soak it in alcohol for about 15 minutes.
- Method 2: You can roast a piece of ginger, crush it, and rub it over the surface of the meat for about 5 – 7 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
- Method 3: Use lemon or vinegar to rub over the piece of beef for 5 – 7 minutes, then rinse with clean water.

Next, place the beef in a plastic bag and use a meat mallet to pound the beef into thin slices, about 1cm thick.

Pan-seared beef
Sprinkle a little salt and a little pepper on both sides of the beef steak and massage evenly, letting the meat absorb the seasoning for about 3 – 5 minutes.
Place a pan on the stove, turn the heat to high, and add 1 tablespoon of cooking oil to heat. When the oil starts to heat up, add the beef, reduce to medium heat, and proceed to pan-sear each side for about 1 minute.
Next, transfer the meat to a plate and let it rest for about 2 minutes.

Make BBQ sauce
In a bowl, combine 120ml of beef broth, 1.5 tablespoons of barbecue marinade, 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon of chili sauce, and 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, then stir well.
After just taking the beef steak out of the pan, immediately add the mixed sauce into the pan, turn the heat to medium, and stir well for about 2 minutes until the sauce boils and the butter is completely melted.
