Pineapple Salad with Tender Beef

This pineapple beef salad smells so good it'll make your mouth water the moment it hits the table! The tender, bouncy beef is coated in glistening red chili oil, and the pineapple chunks are soaked in the sauce. Each bite is bursting with sweet and sour juices, followed by the spiciness of the beef. The crispness of the celery and chili peppers blends perfectly with the aroma of garlic, creating a rich and refreshing flavor profile. The beef is so tender you don't even need to chew it, and the sweet and sour pineapple balances the spiciness perfectly. It's so appetizing, you'll want to clean every last drop of sauce from the plate.

Ingredients

200g pineapple
250g beef
100g celery or cilantro
Two cloves of garlic
Two slices of ginger
1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
Two tablespoons of light soy sauce
1 teaspoon of white sugar
Black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of cooking wine
baking soda 1 gram
a few drops of lemon juice
white sesame seeds
chili powder

Steps

Add a pinch of baking soda, 1 tablespoon of light soy sauce, half a tablespoon of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of cooking wine, shredded ginger, and a pinch of black pepper to the chopped beef. Mix well by hand and marinate for at least 30 minutes (to make the beef tender and juicy).
Cut the pineapple into small pieces and soak them in salt water for 1 hour. This will remove the astringency and make it taste sweeter.
Cut scallions and celery into sections, and chop red chili peppers. Prepare all ingredients.
First, put minced garlic, 1 spoonful of chili powder, and 1 spoonful of white sesame seeds in a bowl.
Heat some oil in a pan, pour it over the sauce with a sizzling sound to release the aroma, then add 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce, 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, half a tablespoon of white sugar, and a few drops of lemon juice. Stir well, and the soul sauce is ready.
Heat oil in a wok, add the marinated beef, stir-fry quickly over high heat until it changes color, then remove it from the wok (don't overcook it). Add the celery and red chili peppers back in and stir-fry briefly until just cooked through.
Put the stir-fried beef and side dishes into a large bowl, add 2 tablespoons of the essential sauce, then pour in the soaked pineapple chunks, mix well and it's ready to eat!
