Steps

1
Cut the beef topside with the grain, then slice it thinly against the grain.

4
Add salt to the beef.
5
Add chicken powder.
6
Add white pepper.
7
Add a little yum yum; the source does not identify the product or give a measurement.
8

9
Add Shaoxing wine.
10

Massage all the seasonings and flavorings into the beef. The video shows a comparison of the velveted beef with untreated beef, but does not describe a subsequent cooking method.
