Pinoy Bistek

I haven't had bistek in a long time. Bistek is the Filipino beef steak version. These are thinly sliced beef marinated in soy sauce and kalamansi or vinegar, and then cooked and garnished with sauteed onion rings. Since I haven't eaten it in a long time since I left the Philippines, I tried to cook it. Actually, maybe a year or two ago I tried cooking it but it didn't come out so well. I guess, I marinated it too long that it was too sour or maybe I just put too much kalamansi. Well, I guess you learn along the way. I was still learning how to cook then, haha. Anyway, I tried making it again yesterday and it came out pretty well. My husband said it was perfect. Well, I guess because he hasn't tried other Bistek recipes, haha!So he can't really compare it. But I am also a hard critic of myself and this time I know it did come out good. I used a recipe I found online. I forgot the site but I'm gonna tell you about it next time because it's too late already to do research again, haha. Here is the photo of my very own Bistek.

Beef Chuck Roast Recipe

Last Wednesday, we did some grocery shopping and I found some very good chuck roast at Sam's Club. I haven't cooked some roast in a while, so I thought of making it this week. So I bought 2 pieces of beef chuck roast about three pounds each.

I cooked it yesterday and it came out really well. I slow-cooked it for about an hour an a half. The meat came out really soft and very tasty. My husband and son liked this same recipe that I cooked before. I usually cook it with sauteed potatoes on the side or with egg noodles or any pasta.

I love roast beef because I can cook a big piece of meat and then it will last until the next day. My husband can have something for lunch at work, too! And the good thing about it is that the next day it even tastes better. I guess because all the juices and seasonings are soaked by the meat already. So here's a recipe for beef chuck roast, you can vary the seasonings according to your preference.
