Steps to Follow

Step 1: Preparing the Ingredients

• Beef: Rinse and pat dry with paper towels, then slice into bite-sized pieces. Marinate with shallots, garlic, seasoning powder, sugar, black pepper, soy sauce, and cooking oil for about 30 minutes to let the flavors soak in.
• Morning glory: Remove the leaves, keeping only the stems. Cut the stems into short segments, soak in water with a bit of lemon juice for 5 minutes to enhance crispness and color. After draining, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
• Onion: Slice thinly and soak in water with vinegar or lemon juice to reduce the pungent smell.

Step 2: Stir-frying the Beef

Heat cooking oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then add the marinated beef and stir-fry quickly over high heat. Once the beef is just cooked, turn off the heat and set aside.

Step 3: Making the Salad Dressing

Mix all the salad dressing ingredients (water, sugar, rice vinegar, salt, black pepper, minced shallots, cooking oil) thoroughly until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 4: Preparing the Dipping Sauce

Combine all the dipping sauce ingredients according to the prepared ratios. Adjust the sourness, sweetness, and saltiness to suit your family’s taste.

Step 5: Mixing the Salad

In a large bowl, combine morning glory, stir-fried beef, onion, bean sprouts, herbs, celery, and chili. Pour the salad dressing over and mix well. Let the salad marinate for 10-20 minutes.

Step 6: Finishing and Presentation

Arrange the salad on a plate, sprinkle with crushed roasted peanuts, and garnish with a few herb sprigs. The Morning Glory and Beef Salad is ready to be enjoyed with the flavorful sweet and sour dipping sauce.
