'Gozleme' with beef & bean filling

This is my first time making a dough for flat breads. Notice my inverted commas in-between the gozleme. Well it's intentional. Since I was merely trying out, I simply cooked the flat bread and eat with the filling as in a soft taco, instead of sealing the beef fillings inside and cooked it. I think that either way, it would have worked. I was very pleased by how everything turned out. The beef  filling was delicious and the flat bread was good. I also top it with some avocados, becoming is a matchmaker made in heaven. To re do!

 

 

 

Beef with cauliflower and snow peas

Filling the gaps. Alright I guess I will not be posting that much when uni starts tomorrow. I will try my best to fit everything in my schedule though. I realise that it is really hard to manage time properly. Okay this is not an easy task, but somehow I am still learning and I am thankful that things start to make sense to me. You know like when everything start to take shape and form a picture.

Alright, so this is about cauliflower. Cauliflower is in season. I cooked them with snow peas and beef. Talk about diversification hehe. I think that after having eaten so much cauliflower over the last few weeks, I am starting to really like it. It tastes good to be honest. It is one of those vegetable that go well with anything- okay almost everything.

Note: I do not usually plate up the food, which is why you seen it in the pan. Also I am not posting the recipe because I guess this one is pretty simple, only a change of ingredients.

Beef steak

We are in Australia. Undeniably one dish that will come again and again is beef steak. Yes please. Steak is one simple thing to cook. All you need is the right meat. The rest is about getting it done. We have steak almost every week or so. I am now trying to vary the side dishes. We used to have it with mashed potatoes (most often because it is easy to make- using the instant one- and less oily than chips). I really want to increase the options. Yesterday I baked potatoes for my first time and indeed it goes really well with steak. I try roasting some cauliflower as well. It turned out okay.

I did not have the opportunity to take picture of the baked potatoes tray, but you can see  some on the top left corner :)

With stir fry button mushroom yummmos

 Before I leave, I will advice to have green salad as side dish for anything fried or stir fry.

Beef capsicum (recipe)

I have already posted something about beef capsicum but today I will post the recipe.

So for the beef marinade, I usually use soy sauce, sesame oil, ground white pepper, and cornflour. You can add cooking wine if you want to. Mix with the beef and let this rest about 15 minutes. In the meantime, cut all your veggies. I used capsicum (obviously) and some snow peas (they are in season right now). Finely cut garlic and onion.
Next step is to cook the beef and then remove from pan. Then saute the garlic and onion. After 2-3 minutes, add the capsicum and snow peas (or any other veggies you like). Let cook until nearly tender (around 5 minutes). Add the cooked beef. Finally add a marinade of oyster sauce and cornflour. Bring to boil and the dish is ready to be served. Salt and pepper to taste. and there you go:

Lovely capsicums

Capsicum chopped. Love the colours

Pasta bolognese

Alright I know we are having a lot of pasta lately but it's alright. Pasta bolognese is one of the simplest and yummiest dish ever. I always add carrots and mushroom (button/canned) with my sauce, way to turn it into a healthier option. Carrot is in fact. one of the sweetest vegetable. So adding it to this sauce gives it a sweet flavour which goes well altogether.

I kind of mixed everything, instead of putting the sauce on top, resulting in a melange-tout.

Beef mushroom capsicum

Like I refer to in my last post, I made beef capsicum earlier this week. I loved making this dish, it's so simple and easy to cook and and it's delicious. Capsicum and beef goes really well.
