My Bistek with Potatoes
Bistek. Does it really mean Beef Steak in Filipino? I don’t know, but anyway, here is my version of the Pinoy Bistek. What you need: For the one I cooked last night (in the photo), I actually used left over frozen steak that’s probably about 700 grams or so. The bottom photo is the most …
Yes, another Beef Curry Recipe!
I recently came across a beef curry recipe in one of Coles’ recipe magazine and being in a family of curry lovers, I decided to give one of the recipes inside the magazine a try. I had to make do with the ingredients I had in my fridge and pantry and it turned out really …
Arroz a la Cubana
Still on a high after last night’s school awards night where my daughter received two Academic Awards. Can’t be prouder and more thankful. Next to prepare for is her Piano Concert this Saturday — guess I will be a nervous wreck again. This recipe I am posting today is actually a Spanish Dish (obviously from …
Korean Style Beef Ribs
Yesterday I was talking to an Indonesian mum while waiting for my daughter and she was surprised to learn that I cook dinner every night (except Friday — because that’s our takeaway dinner night). She says she can’t do it because she is not a good cook. Well, you don’t need to be a good …
Ox Tongue (Lengua) with Mushroom Sauce (updated 2024 February)
Whenever we get the chance, our family goes to either Darra or Inala, both suburbs of which are known for Asian shops and delis. On the last occasion that we were in Inala, we were in a meat shop recommended by our delightful couple friends Pinky and Keith and we decided we haven’t had ox …
Beef and Coconut Curry
I was getting some things from an IGA shop near my daughter’s school one afternoon when I saw this free cooking magazine called Entice. The photo in the front made me hungry and for some reason, the magazine’s rustic look made it more appealing for me to pick up. It turned out it is the …
Minced Beef with Whatever!
I had to put “whatever” because in this recipe you can actually put whatever vegetable you have. Ever been stuck with what to cook for dinner and are in the mood for something simple and easy to make? Well, here is one, that my husband gave me an idea for. It’s got simple ingredients and …
Beef Tagine with Prune and Orange
OK this recipe is not one of those 15 minute quick ones that you can whip up when everyone’s tummy is already rumbling. It is nice to cook this on a leisurely Sunday lunch perhaps, and enjoy with your family. You can use any beef cut but the recipe uses chuck steak, which is not …
Beef with Bitter Gourd (Ampalaya or Bitter Melon)
This was originally what we were supposed to have for dinner but since my daughter wouldn’t eat this vegetable, I had to cook Bistek as well! Ironically though, she was able to cook this with my supervision (she’s 10 and I am trying to teach her how to cook) and enjoyed doing so. But nope, …
