Stir-fry beef and pineapple
Heat a pan on the stove and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Wait for the oil to heat up, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
Next, add the beef and stir-fry for about 1 – 2 minutes.
Tip: To avoid tough beef, stir-fry the beef over high heat and keep stirring throughout the cooking process.
When the beef has turned slightly pink, turn off the heat and transfer the beef to a plate.
Then, turn the stove back on and add the pineapple to the pan to stir-fry. Season the pineapple with 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1/4 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1/4 teaspoon of sugar, and 1/2 tablespoon of fish sauce. Stir well and stir-fry the pineapple for about 2 – 3 minutes.
When the pineapple starts to soften, add the previously stir-fried beef. Stir well and stir-fry for another 2 – 3 minutes.
Finally, adjust the seasoning to taste, sprinkle chopped green onions and the remaining chopped chili on top, then turn off the heat.

How to choose fresh and delicious beef
- It is advisable to choose meat that is bright red, finely textured, with beautiful marbling, and fat that is light yellow. When smelling, it should have the characteristic aroma of beef.
- Additionally, good beef will feel sticky to the touch, and when pressed lightly, it should have a certain degree of elasticity.
- Avoid purchasing meat that is dark red, with dark yellow fat, and coarse texture as this indicates older cattle, which is usually tough and not palatable.
- If you notice beef that is dark red, with white fat, and a slightly fishy smell, it is likely fake beef made from buffalo meat, so it should be avoided!
How to clean beef properly, without odor
- Method 1: Rub lemon or salt onto the beef for about 5 – 7 minutes, then rinse with water before cooking.
- Method 2: Soak the beef in vinegar for about 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water.
- Method 3: Soak in diluted salt water for about 15 minutes, then take it out and rinse several times with clean water.
How to choose the right ripe pineapple
- Good ripe pineapples usually have a striking yellow color, sometimes with green spots. These are ripe and have reached a certain level of sweetness.
- It is best to choose those with a slightly rounded shape and shorter fruit, as these will have more flesh compared to long ones.
- Choose pineapples with larger eyes if possible. These are mature fruits, naturally ripe, and not artificially ripened.
- If the pineapple is just ripe, you will feel a moderate softness when touching it. The skin of a ripe pineapple is usually slightly wrinkled.
