hello everyone!

I’m sharing more family recipes, yep tried, proven and tasted recipes. there’s more to come so please like and follow my page.

So, here’s one family favorite (actually ๐Ÿ™‚ we have a lot of favorites) the Filipino version of Beef steak. I used round steak cut thinly for this dish. And of course with vegetable side dish as I always do.
