• When slicing beef, you need to pay attention to cut the right grain so that it is not chewy
• You can put the beef in the freezer for about 1 hour to make it easier to cut.
• Stir-fried beef until it’s just barely cooked, don’t let it be overcooked.
• Choose tuber potatoes, do not get sprouted tubers. Even if they are processed, they can cause severe poisoning.
  With potatoes, you can cut them into many shapes, but don’t let them be thick enough to eat quickly.
• The dish should be eaten all day or just left for the next day. Beef after processing is easy to lose quality, the longer it is, the tougher it is.
