Not your Mediocre Steak!
When you feel like eating healthy...
...But you are also craving a slab of meat!
(My cast iron Lodge pan.) I only cook the steak for 4 minutes on each side once the pan is smoking hot.
In the Philippines, steak is not as common as it is in western countries. Actually, I believe this is because steak here is too tough, and has an overwhelming smell. A lot of Filipinos don't like beef for this reason. Maybe it is because cows here graze on grass, that is grown in highly acidic soil?
Growing up, I never, ever liked beef. It actually wasn't until I moved to Cebu with my boyfriend, that I actually learned to enjoy beef. Steak, burgers, burritos, and meatloaf!
(Preparing a quick salad to pair with my ribeye)
I marinated the steak for only 2 hours with about 4 tablespoons of worcestershire sauce, 3 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons EVOO. The garlic flavor came through the steaks was exactly how I wanted, not over powering but just perfect!
I served it together with a simple salad and my homemade vinaigrette dressing. Voilà!
(Steak and salad, yum!)

I LIKE FISH, TOO!YUMMY!ENJOY!
Wowowow, that looks so tasty! I don't know what makes it look like that but I'm sure it was crunchy and delicious.
Wow, that looks delicious! Yes,us Filipinos never used to eating steak. It is only here in the States that I discovered eating it. And I always want it well done and my husband will flip out and I told him because we always cook our food well. Afraid of bacterial contamination. Nice article,keep on posting!
Wow! That's an interesting fact about Philippines that I didn't know! Here in Venezuela meat is the main part of all the dishes, although nowadays it's so expensive people are buying more chicken.
oh, that bacterial contamination thing! I learned that from my partner too! haha now I always paranoid of what I eat haha

Cast iron pan is the best for grilling steak for its heat retainment. Oh and the setting sun encapsulates your beauty.
Must have cast iron pan!
Oh that? Thanks to the backlight 😁
Happy New Year! ❤️🎉🎊🥂
Salad, steak, shots (photos), steam and Steemit all are beautiful. :)
By the way, this road/lane in the background looks clean and not very crowded. Whoever took this photo is an artist. Shared.
Steem On!
aw! thank you, my boyfriend took the photo, I'll pass the compliment =)
How are you?
Say hello to him.
I'm very handsome. :D :P .... Trust me, not flirting. :)
omg that is mouth-watering @purepinay, which shop did you bought the steak ? im badly looking for one here in cebu hence i am planning to cook
thank you ^_-
bought it at rustans, they sell good quality imported beef =)
wow nice , i'll look for one, thanks gillaine <3 ;))
First of all, I'd like to admit that you look beautiful. Your boyfriend must be a lucky guy to have you. Your post is as good as you are. I wonder I must be running out of words someday to compliment you either for you or for your posts. Wish I could write posts like you. If I could wear ornament to my post just like you do to all of your posts. The dish looks yummy.
But for your kind information, kindly try to control the intake of mutton as it's not good for health. It increases the cholesterol level which, in turn, might cause some cardio problem as you grow older. Once in a blue moon, its ok, but don't get used to it. It's just a friendly suggestion. I m not anyone who could advise you. Stay Good & Blessed. Wish you the Sweetest Happy New Year in Your life.
