How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- Choose beef that is bright red, with light yellow fat, and has a characteristic aroma.
- Choose pieces of meat that are small, tender, and have fine fibers. Press with your hand to feel the meat’s good elasticity.
- If you see white, small nodules that are easy to detach from the meat, it is likely that the meat contains parasites, so it should not be bought.

Prepare the ingredients
Buy pre-cut beef from the market, wash it thoroughly, drain, and place it in a bowl. If you buy a whole piece of beef, rub salt on the meat, then wash it again with clean water, drain, and slice thinly.
Marinate the beef with: 1 spoon of seasoning, 1 spoon of pepper, 1 spoon of five-spice powder, 1 spoon of minced garlic, 1/2 tablespoon of cooking oil, mix well and marinate for 15 minutes for the meat to absorb the flavors.
Peel the carrot, wash it with cold water, then slice it thinly and place it in a bowl. Add 1 spoon of salt, mix well and marinate for about 15 minutes so that the carrot softens.
Then rinse the carrot with boiling water and let it cool.
Ways to remove the smell of beef
Method 1: Soak the beef in white wine for 15 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
Method 2: Put the beef in a pot of water, heat for about 3 – 5 minutes, then take it out and rinse to reduce the smell. Note that you should only heat to about 50 degrees Celsius, not boil.
Method 3: Use lemon or vinegar to rub on the piece of beef for 5 – 7 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
Method 4: Roast a piece of ginger, then pound it, rub it on the piece of beef, and rinse it clean.
