shiko-chan, cuts like flank, hanger, etc. steaks tend to be cheaper, more flavorful but also need to be cooked rare for them to be reasonably tender. I love Down to Earth, and have featured many of their products before. I have tried some of their meat, but mostly the pork. It’s definitely worth a try, though be prepared for slightly tougher meat than commercially produced cuts…

Oh, steak. Can’t go wrong with steak <3 (unless I'm the one cooking it, it seems…)

Aside from this flank steak, MarketMan, would you know where else I could get good sulit beef in Metro Manila? Personally, I'm thinking of slicing it up for use in a taco, so I don't particularly need visual appeal, just good soft tasty beef (not ground). What cut would you suggest?

I'd like to use locally and ethically grown, etc. beef, so I'm thinking of buying at https://www.DowntoEarth.ph it will be my first time to do so. have you tried their produce? what do you think? :)

Marketman, this is bookmarked on my browser because this page has all the beefy wonders I am looking for. I am still learning to cook the perfect steak. I don’t have a grill so I pan fry it in a cast iron pan. I can never seem to get it right…I like my steak rare to medium rare but I always end making it wrong. It is either over cooked or the poorly seasoned. I am an unabashed meat eater and I can finish a half kilo of meat in a single sitting. Especially when it is chicken or beef. I am not much of a vegetable eater is all I can say…

Hi MM! Was wondering if smoked maldon would make a better choice for steak than the original variety . I am a grateful recepient of a balikbayan box and i only get to choose 1 between the 2 Maldon’s which was thrown in the said box along with some Nutella and toblerones :D oh! I am yet to find out if I will get my share of corned beef too. Lol

…this put a smile on my face since we just grilled flank steak and grilled asparagus last weekend. Ours didn’t look as good though. :-(

But please do take care. :-)

Wishing you full recovery.

Responding to food craving should be exactly the same as dealing with temptation; most rational and delicious way of relief is to just give in to it. As you said, your body is probably just yearning for the nutrients supplied by the food in question. “Lihi” is the good Tagalog word for it although this usually comes saddled with images of newly expectant moms.
