2. How to make beef salad

Step 1 : Prepare ingredients

Wash the beef with diluted salt water and then rinse with clean water. Then, use paper towels to absorb all the water. Next, slice the beef into thin slices across the grain.

Peel the green bananas, slice them thinly and soak them in diluted salt water. Wash the star fruit, cut them into small pieces and soak them in diluted salt water. Add a tablespoon of vinegar to remove the sap from the bananas and star fruit and prevent them from turning brown. Then, take them out and let them drain completely.

Peel the onion, wash it, and cut it into small, thin wedges. Next, soak the onion in a bowl of ice water to reduce the pungency and spiciness.

Peel the pineapple, cut into thin slices like star fruit and banana.

Pick, wash and cut salad greens into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2 : Marinate the beef

Put the sliced beef in a bowl, add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic, half a teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, half a tablespoon of cooking oil and then use your hands to knead well for about 2 minutes. When the beef is soft and sticky, it is done. Marinate the beef for about 15-20 minutes to let the spices soak in.

Step 3 : Mix the dipping sauce

Put in a small bowl 2 tablespoons of sugar, 2 tablespoons of good fish sauce, 1 tablespoon of lime juice and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Next, add a little chopped chili and chopped garlic.

Step 4 : Stir-fry the beef until rare.

Place the pan on the stove, add a little cooking oil and heat it up, then add the beef and stir-fry quickly for about 1 minute. When the beef is rare, remove it from the heat and pour it onto a plate. If you leave the beef in a hot pan, it will release water.

Wait until the beef is completely cool before squeezing. If the beef is still hot and you squeeze it, the vegetables will not be crispy.

Step 5 : Mix the beef salad well

Put onion, banana, star fruit, pineapple, coriander, basil, cilantro, Vietnamese coriander in a large bowl, then add half of the fried onion, half of the roasted peanuts and 2 tablespoons of the mixed dressing, stir well to let the mixture absorb the spices.

Then, add the stir-fried beef to the bowl of the mixture, pour in all the mixed water, use your hands to stir and squeeze the mixture of beef, vegetables, and fruits. Then, season to taste.
