Sorry for the month-long absence, but besides shooting an engagement shoot one May weekend, assisting basic photography workshop on another weekend –  I have no excuse but just to say we are lazy… or maybe we just don’t have the time – I apologize.

Oh oh, and another May weekend was spent in New York! Which leads me to this post’s recipe – Blue Cheese Burger.

On our second day in New York , we met up with Royal Chef‘s good friends from Canada, who he hasn’t seen for almost 5 years. We had a nice late lunch at Pete’s Tavern (though I had a crappy salad) and Peter ordered this huge 10 oz. Blue Cheese Burger (the online menu says USD 9.75, but i think it’s actually USD 12.95).

This is our version of Blue Cheese Burger, sans expensive bill.

This post again features guest chef, the guy, manning the kitchen.

He said this is one of his favorite salads, the other one being the spicy Thai-ish salad.

I can’t really say the exact measurements for the ingredients, as he was just chopping, slicing and mixing away without measuring.

Bistek reminds me of carinderias in Philippines because it is where I usually have it as we don’t cook it at home. The beef is tender, swimming in oily beefy brown soup with massive amounts of soft onion rings, served with steaming rice.

Great soberer after a late night out!

I got the recipe from one of my favorite Pinoy food recipe site Panlasang Pinoy; Bistek Tagalog recipe here.
