Beef is probably one of my favourite ingredient that I'd like to have in a meal. I believe when there is beef, there will always be a happy me. To be honest, I'm not particularly picky when it comes to the cut of meat, cept for the minor chewy parts of course. I still remember when dad took us all out for dinners and the first choice will definitely be a piece of nicely prepared steak with the usual accompanies. But ever since I moved to Sydney, I don't usually get the luxury of ordering a good medium rare steak due of the price of eating out. Hence I resort to home-cooked versions for satisfy my once-in-a-while steak craving.

Having said that, I used to think I am good with steaks and they should be the easiest thing to deal with. WRONG. I failed to produce delicious yummy juicy steaks on multiple occasions ever since I moved to my new place couple months ago. kinda embarrassing when you think about it. and not to mention Masterchef just makes it looks so easy.

and so today. after a long long time of not having any steaks, I was at the local butcher picking out four fresh looking minute steaks.

and made steak sandwiches! So I the obvious lettuce and tomatoes and steak, with beetroot slices and a fried egg. Beets and eggs are the best thing is sandwiches. ever. 

was kinda disappointed with the steak again. they did not turn out well. the surface did not brown or caramelize as I liked them too. and they were a bit chewy (I suspect they did not use the right cut). Tell me how to make yum yum succulent steaks please! All in all, its still beef and its still good. for now.

on another note. these are the most amazing desert/pastry I got off jenius.com.au. Instant Maple Apple Tarte Tatin. Easiest thing to make and all It needs was maple syrup, apples, puff pastries and butter. smells and taste heavenly I swear. 

and I found new love for bubble milk tea with pearls. maybe instead of being an coffee addict. I'll be a bubble milk tea addict instead.
