Beef Tapa

| July 21, 2009

I realize that this is another beef entry. :D  I think it’s only right that I post this after my entry on Beef Steak Tagalog (Bistek) because it was through a bistek disaster (well, sort of!) that I discovered for myself how to make Beef Tapa. :)  You see, we were supposed to have Bistek [...]
