How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh, quality veal
- You should choose pieces of meat that are bright red, with clear marbling, and the fat part is bright yellow.
- When you touch the piece of beef lightly, it should have a moderate softness and good elasticity.
- Avoid buying pieces of meat that have a bad smell, are mushy, have round white spots between the muscle fibers, and have a pale green color as this indicates the beef has been stored for too long and is not usable.

How to choose good leeks

- Avoid old leeks with yellowed leaves and signs of aging at the roots.

Prepare and marinate the beef
First, you need to rub the beef with salt, wash it thoroughly with water, then drain it, and slice it thinly.
Tips for removing the smell of beef
- Removing the smell with alcohol: You just need to prepare a cup of white wine, soak the piece of beef in the wine for about 15 minutes. Then, rinse it under cold water, and the meat will have less smell and will be tastier when cooked.
- Removing the smell with ginger: You need to prepare a small piece of ginger, roast it until cooked. Then peel the outer layer, pound it finely, rub it evenly around the piece of meat, and rinse the meat with cold water to finish.

Make stir-fried beef with leeks
Place a pan on the stove, add about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the pan, then add all the leek tops, stirring evenly over medium heat until the leeks are golden and fragrant.
Next, add the beef into the pan and stir well. When the beef starts to sear and is just cooked, add the remaining leeks into the pan, mix well, and stir-fry for about 5 minutes before turning off the heat and transferring the mixture to a plate.
Before turning off the heat, you can season with additional spices if it is not to your taste.
