Pan-Fried Beef Steak

-


Nothing like a well seasoned, thinly cut pan fried piece of steak with a few lightly sautéed onions on top for added flavor. Goes excellent with the rice and black beans recipe that I shared with you  a few days ago. For that perfect Brazilian meal. But a great piece of steak to me is not bloody and raw and yet not tough and chewy. But instead tender, fully cooked (well done) with no red inside and still soft.

Ingredients
6 pieces of beef steak
1 onion sliced
2 tbsp oil
seasonings: salt, black pepper, all purpose seasoning, garlic powder

Directions
Rinse your beef filets in water and then season. The best way to get your beef to pick up the most flavor is to leave it seasoned and refrigerate overnight and cook it the next day. If you have time do that, but in todays world most times we don't have time to do that. So If you can't, thats fine. Just season and follow the next steps below.

In a frying pan pour your oil and set fire to medium low heat, once the oil is hot, place your beef in two or three at a time. Cook for about 4-5 min on each side depending on the thickness of the beef. Cook until you notice that it is cooked all the way through and the outside is golden. If your outside is starting to get too dark and yet the inside is still raw, you will need to lower your heat and perhaps add about 1 - 2 tbsp of water to allow the steam to help cook the inside of your beef.

You will know when it is cooked all the way through by sticking a fork or a knife in the center, if a little blood oozes out it is still raw or if you slightly cut it open with a knife and notice it is still pink, you need to leave it in just a little longer. ( Be careful not to overcook or you will get tough, chewy beef.) Keep attentive to check the exact moment when it is time to remove your steak from the fire.

Once fully cooked on both sides. Remove your beef and Add your onion to the pan and  about 2 tbsp water and cook for about 2 minutes or until the onions begin to get golden. Spoon over your beef to add flavor and serve. Goes great with anything really. Great sides to go with this dish is mashed potatoes, rice, beans, roasted potatoes etc.

Do you get a white ooze when cooking Salmon?

-

Does your salmon often look like this when you cook it? Tried baking, frying, poaching it but this stuff keeps coming out? Quick tip: when cooking salmon it is common for a white sort of cream to come oozing out all around the fish. Though it does not affect the taste. It can be found to be annoying and not pretty. But I found the trick to solving this problem, it happens because salmon is an oily fish, there are many oils within the fish itself. When cooking all of these oils come out in the form of this white ooze, normally from my own experience, when this happens the fish tends to become dry. Because now all of that moisture and oils meant to keep the fish succulent and juicy was just taken out. I found a solution to this problem. To keep all the oils locked in, you need to dry out the surface of the fish.  Before seasoning drizzle a little bit of vinegar on the fish and rub it in well. Continue your seasoning process. You will see that your problem will be resolved. F

Mommy Grandma Here is my beautiful mother and my grandmother both of whom I love dearly. Oh, yes. And look at my darling twin sister. My mirror, my look alike. which one am I? Do you know? Well my mom and grandma were  both born in Furna - Brava, Cape Verde also known for its portuguese name as CaboVerde. A portuguese speaking Island off of the coast of West Africa. Me in CapeVerde In CapeVerde just like in any other Country there are many traditional dishes such as 2 of the main ones. Cuscus - a breakfast bread and Cachupa- a heavy soup for lunch. These are 2 of my favorite Capeverdian foods along with others such as funginho, gigacida, and the list goes on. Cuscus is a breakfast food. For those of you who don't know what it is, its similar to a corn muffin or a corn type of bread. It is made fresh and eaten whilst hot off of the stove spread with loads of butter to melt nicely on top. I love eating this with my favorite rasberry tea. Some of you might hate i
