• 1

  Prepare the ingredients

  Peel the carrot, wash it clean and cut it into small pieces. After picking the leaves of the amaranth, wash it twice with water and then cut it into small pieces with a knife.

  Wash the beef with diluted salt water, rinse it again with clean water and let it drain.

  How to clean beef and eliminate the smell

  • Method 1: After buying the beef, just rinse it with water about 1 – 2 times to clean off the blood and let it drain. Since beef doesn’t have a very strong smell, this method will be the most convenient for you.
  • Method 2: Roast a piece of ginger until it’s cooked, then peel off the burnt skin and pound it finely, then rub it on the beef, letting it sit for about 3 minutes before rinsing with water.
