Food Trip Friday--- Beef Steak

When you're busy and always on the go but you still want some good food on the table, this Filipino dish is highly recommended.

Just make sure to buy the freshest meat in the market so that tenderness of the meat is guaranteed. All you have to do is marinate it with soy sauce, garlic, a little salt, pepper, sugar, and Calamondin juice. In a pan, boil with enough water to cover the meat. Fry after and add the excess marinade. Simmer for a few minutes then top with white onion slices.

Food Trip Friday--- Chicken Steak Tagalog

Inspired by Yummy Magazine's Beef Steak Tagalog recipe. May 2009 issue. The Yummy Magazine was actually given to us bloggers for free during the Red Ribbon Cake launch. This May 2009 issue is full of easy recipes that we can make with a snap and still create a restaurant feel of dining.

This Chicken Steak Tagalog is originally taken from our homegrown Beef Steak Tagalog recipe. I substituted the beef with chicken fillet to make it a bit different. Of course, a Filipino steak dish in incomplete without slices of onion rings to top it.

Ingredients:

1/4 C calamansi juice
1/3 C soy sauce
1/4 tsp cracked black pepper
1/2 K of chicken fillet
3 medium potatoes (cut into wedges)
1 large red or white onion
5 cloves garlic (chopped)
1/4 C water
dash of salt

How To:

• In a bowl, mix calamansi juice together with the soy sauce, salt, black pepper, chopped garlic and chicken fillet. Set aside for about 30 minutes.
• In a pan fry potato wedges until golden brown. Set aside.
• Using the same pan, fry marinated chicken fillet until cooked. Add remaining marinade and water.
• Simmer for a few seconds then add the potato wedges. Stir and serve in a bowl topped with onion rings.
  

Servings:4-5

Beef Steak

This is a borrowed recipe from Mr. Luv4fud from my grouprecipes circle. I was in search of an easy beef steak recipe when I landed on his site. This was posted in 2007. I just transferred it, considering that this site is going to be home for delights cooking from my kitchen and stuff.

I love eating this dish during breakfast with rice. Sorry the picture is blurry, I used a cheap camera :)

2 Lbs. Round Roast (lean beef)
1 Large red onion
1 Cup of soy sauce
1 Cup of water
1 dozen calamansi (squeezed)
salt and pepper
Corn oil for frying

How To:

1.In a large bowl marinate beef in soy sauce, water, calamansi, and msg for an hour.

2.Heat frying pan and add 2 Tbs. of corn oil and fry meat in batches until they all have good sear marks on both sides.

3.Remove meat from the pan and set aside. Repeat the process for the next batch.
