Sizzling Beef in Special Sauce or Beef Salpicao

When I cook Salpicao, I always substitute chicken for the beef as my dad is not allowed to eat beef. I usually use chicken thigh fillets without the skin and then cut them into cubes.

For the sauce, I just combine worcestershire sauce and Knorr liquid seasoning with a bit of sugar. Then I would cook the dish with lots and lots of minced garlic and pepper! It's an easy and yummy dish! :)

Yesterday, during our Star Margarine Cooking Demo in our office, we were taught this recipe that seems very similar to my Chicken Salpicao, but with one additional ingredient that made the dish tastier... The pepper steak sauce!

Keep Yourself Healthy

Some people don’t have the time or energy to go to the gym or to exercise. But there are some habits that we can incorporate into our everyday lives to help keep us well and healthy:
Take 10,000 steps or walk 5 miles per day. Walking burns calories and cut cholesterol, strengthens back muscles and bones, slims your waist, lowers blood pressure, shapes and tones your legs and butt, reduces risk of heart disease and diabetes, reduces stress, improves mood and sleep, and it’s FREE.
Drink adequate water daily. The most common rule of thumb people follow with regards to water intake is 8 8-ounce glasses per day. However, new research suggests that this varies based on the person’s weight, activity level and climate. The 8 glasses should be the minimum. What I personally do is I bring a water jug so that I always remember to sip water every couple of minutes.
Adequate water intake prevents dehydration, cleans out the body, promotes healing processes and helps control weight. (www.wikihow.com)
