I used to think Filipinos living and working out of the country are being a tad bit OA and incredibly fussy and noisy everytime I heard them talk about how they miss Snowbear, utap, bulad, masaryal, hipon, ginamos, and you get the idea. It did not occur to me that if I had cravings for any particular local dish when I'm in my home country, why couldn't my countrymen outside of my country? So of course now I know I was dead wrong.
Anyway, I had a craving for real Filipino dish a couple of days ago and since pork isn't available anywhere in my City the first thing that came to mind was beef. Then the next thing that came to mind was beefsteak. To make the long story short I made Bistek Tagalog for the first time and it was a success!!! Made me so happy!

Weeeeeeeeeee!
I had no idea this was called Bistek Tagalog. I only realized so after searching for the recipe on the internet; I used to just say beefsteak.
By the way I used vinegar instead of lemon and since I did not have ginger either, I put cinnamon powder instead.
Now I'm hungry!
