Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, it’s crucial to remove the blood from the beef brisket. Gently press the brisket with paper towels to thoroughly drain any excess blood. This step ensures a clean taste without any gamey odor.
Step 2
Rinse the bean sprouts thoroughly under running water and drain them. Bring a pot of water to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of sea salt, and blanch the bean sprouts for about 1 minute. Immediately plunge them into ice water to cool them down, which helps maintain their crispiness. Drain well.
Step 3
Blanch the beef brisket in boiling water for a short period to remove excess fat. Avoid overcooking to keep the meat tender. After blanching, rinse the brisket under cold water to wash away any remaining grease and impurities. Drain thoroughly in a colander.
Step 4
The blanched and rinsed beef brisket will be cleaner and have a more delicate flavor. Now, let’s prepare the salad vegetables. We’ll use cherry tomatoes from the fridge, fresh chives, and a cucumber.
Step 5
Thinly slice the cucumber into julienne strips. Cut the chives into bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 cm). Halve the cherry tomatoes. In a small bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk until the sugar is dissolved.
Step 6
Place the prepared beef brisket, blanched bean sprouts, and all the sliced vegetables into a large bowl. Pour the freshly made, zesty salad dressing over the ingredients and gently toss to combine. Alternatively, you can serve the dressing on the side for guests to add according to their preference.
Step 7
Serving the dressing separately is also a great option. Arrange the beef brisket and vegetables attractively on a platter, and let everyone add their desired amount of dressing. This is especially convenient for individual servings, allowing for personalized taste adjustments.
Step 8
Combining all ingredients in a bowl, adding the dressing, and giving it a quick toss before plating is the most straightforward and quickest way to enjoy this dish. The lightly coated ingredients will blend beautifully for a more delicious outcome.
Step 9
As the saying goes, ‘A beautiful dish tastes better.’ Add a final touch of visual appeal by arranging the halved cherry tomatoes around the edges of the salad for a pop of color.
Step 10
This meticulously prepared beef brisket salad is sure to be a hit with your guests. Be prepared for compliments and possibly even empty plates!
