Method

1. 1 Cut the beef into 4 cm cubes and marinate with fish sauce, shallots, and lemongrass for 30 minutes.
2. 2 Chop one part of the pineapple into small pieces and cut the rest into chunks.
3. 3 Sauté the beef, then caramelize the sugar and add the chopped pineapple to braise together.
4. 4 Chopped pineapple contains enzymes that tenderize meat, so it only needs to be stewed for 60 minutes instead of 80 minutes.
5. 5 Add just enough water to cover the beef and simmer over low heat for 60 minutes until tender.
6. 6 Add the pineapple pieces during the last 8 minutes, then simmer until the liquid evaporates and sprinkle with chili, pepper, and green onions.

With an appliance
