I just got done eating some great Chicken Curry that I made .... Cooked the chicken breast over charcoal before adding it to the curry sauce. Also added to it some potatoe and carrots that were chopped and pre-cooked. Spicy and Great stuff !
Wrap your beef in paper, then put it into the lowest point in your refrigerator for ten days. Remember to write the removal date on the paper. We use this process all the time, as most of the meat sold in the markets is still walking. Also slow cooking in a pressure cooker or crock pot also gives acceptable results. As for a good steak, that's something that we can only dream about.
We use the slow cooker for a few meals,chop up the veg,fry the meat off in flour in the fry pan and throw it all in there with a casserole/stew mix and leave on high for 6-7 hrs. Also they have a good chillie mix in hyper made by mc cormick,half kg of ground beef,one onion,small tin mushrooms,big tin of toms and a tin of kidney beans. Add chillie to your licking. Dinner this evening.
MKKS meats near the Dumaguete cockpit (across from Citi Hardware has Tenderloin from Brasil. It's just under 800 Peso/Kg and you have to buy the whole tenderloin which is about 2 Kg. Sometimes they has Texas beef at a little higher price. The Brasil meat can be a bit hit and miss. Sometimes it is tender and sometimes a little tough. When it's tough I just cut it to strips and stir fry it. One time I bought a rib eye roast and it was okay, the next time it was too tough to describe. Overall I would rate MKKS as good with the occasional, Oh Crap.
Why hang it for 21 days in a cold locker? After all the locals still buy it as is and nothing goes to waste especially as they will sell it even after what in other countries would be considered the sell by date. Yes they could have better tasting beef but prices would go up and the only ones who may care are foreigners who won't be happy seeing the price go up 20%.
Well, you can get [good] beef in VietNam ... and I don't see any big beef cattle ranches there either. I guess even VietNam has long surpassed the Philippines in things like that.
Gosh You Know I have had the Filet Migon at Moons (Robinsons) Bacon wrapped a few times now and thought it was excellent ????????????????????? I one time bought the Shrimp in a red sauce appeitizer and tried dipping my steak in the leftover red sauce and was it ever delicious
