This is probably one of the quickest and easiest dish you can prepare. The combination of beef and corn is simply scrumptious. You might need more rice.
I have the tendency to dislike food and not to try them at all when somebody tells me the taste is not that “wow” or if I have tasted something close previously and did not like how it tasted.
I have tried pepper corn & beef before when at the airport and starving to death. That was the only dish looked appealing to me. When I tasted it, it was too pepper-y – more like it was called pepper-y pepper & pepper than pepper corn & beef. From that moment, no matter how pepper corn & beef looked mouth-watering to me, the eye contact between me and the photo never lasted that long. I always run away.
Not until a few days ago when I saw this recipe. For how many years of running away from anything pepper corn & beef, I finally met the one made my eyes sparkle and my tummy rumbling.
Ahh, the taste was amazing – a balance between salty, sweet & pepper-y. I apologize to all the pepper corn & beef I’ve met before, but I’ve met my soulmate… and we’re engaged! 😀
But for now, I am sharing this with all my friends and bringing this dish at Fiesta Friday #151. Thanks for keeping this party going, Angie!
I got more rice for you, so help yourself. 😉
