How to Choose Fresh Ingredients
How to Choose Fresh Beef
- Choose beef that is bright red, with fine and smooth fibers, beautiful marbling, and light yellow fat. It should have a characteristic beefy aroma.
- Fresh beef should also be slightly sticky to the touch and have a certain elasticity when gently pressed. For a tastier dish, choose beef tenderloin!
- Avoid buying beef that is dark red with dark yellow fat and coarse fibers, as this is from an older cow and is often tough. If the meat is dark red with white fat and has a slightly fishy, non-fragrant smell, it might be fake beef made from buffalo meat.
How to Choose Fresh Eggs
- Fresh eggs have a uniform shell color with no cracks or black spots.
- You can also touch the surface of the eggshell. If the surface is rough, it’s a fresh egg; if it’s smooth, the egg has been stored for a while.
- Do not buy eggs that have a large air chamber when held up to the light, have a bright red yolk with veins, or have a pale shell with many black spots. These are signs of old eggs.
How to Choose Delicious Pate
- Choose pate with a natural pinkish-brown color that feels soft and spongy, not dry, when touched.
- You can also use a knife to test the quality of the pate. If the knife doesn’t stick to the pate after cutting and the pate doesn’t crumble, it’s good pate. Otherwise, don’t buy it.
- You can currently buy pate at Bach Hoa XANH or supermarkets nationwide. When buying, choose products that are well-packaged and not dented or torn. Remember to check the expiration date printed on the box!
- You can also try making pate at home with detailed instructions from Dien May XANH.
What is Unsalted Butter? Where to Buy It?
- Unsalted butter is butter that doesn’t contain salt. It has a mild aroma and a slightly sweet taste. It’s often used for making cookies, cream puffs, cakes, etc., or spread on bread.
- Nowadays, you can easily buy unsalted butter at grocery stores, supermarkets, or Bach Hoa XANH stores nationwide, with a price for a 200gr box ranging from 63,000 – 87,000 VND/box (price updated 5/2021).
- When buying, check the expiration date printed on the packaging. Do not buy products with torn or loose packaging, or those not stored in a refrigerator.
- You can also make unsalted butter at home with detailed instructions shared by Dien May XANH.

How to Make Beefsteak with Fried Egg
-
Prepare and Marinate the Beef
After patting the supermarket-bought beef dry with paper towels, use a meat tenderizer, mallet, or hammer to pound the beef until tender.
Next, add the tenderized beef along with 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 5 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1.5 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1/3 tablespoon of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of whisky to a bowl. Mix well on both sides to coat the beef evenly with the marinade.
Then, cover the bowl tightly with cling film and place it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to allow the beef to absorb the flavors and firm up.
-
Cook the Beefsteak
Place a pan on the stove and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and sauté over medium heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
Then add the marinated beef and pan-fry both sides over medium heat for 3 minutes per side. Add 30gr of unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted, add 1 sausage, 1 piece of pate, and crack 1 egg into the pan.
Leave the pan on the stove for another 2 minutes until the egg is cooked and the pate and sausage are golden brown. Then turn off the heat and enjoy.
-
Finished Product
The aroma of beefsteak with fried egg is fragrant with the scent of butter combined with the aroma of onions and garlic, creating an irresistible and appealing fragrance.
