And since they are boys, they only think of beef! So we tried almost all kinds of beef to see which one we really like

CAB Angus Beef Boneless Short Ribs – this is their best seller and this is also what they all like P 350.00 for all of this

US Prime Chuck Tender

US Hanging Tender

I put everything on the grill and they get what they like….survival of the fastest! 🙂

Yukke- still a beef dish

and we always order the tongue and make sure they give us the special sauce for the tongue which is like oil with salt – squeeze the calamansi before cooking then dip in the sauce before eating 🙂
