BINAGOONGANG BAKA WITH GATA

Hi everyone! it is Tuesday once again.  obviously, i didn't cook yesterday as i got so tired from work. Last night was Noodles night (which am not fond of)! I just came from an eight hours straight work from Hayat and Sahara Mall. When i entered our little kitchen, i discovered that we ran out of almost everything! A few packs of hotdogs, beef and Bangus are available. The veggies as well won't be enough to prepare a luscious dinner. Okay, it's gonna be tough task ahead.
I have few pieces of long green peppers, 2 pieces of eggplants and, a little bunch of sitaw, 1 can of coconut milk and 1 kilo of sirloin beef. How about binagoongang baka with gata? By the way, there is no need for the beef to have it boiled for more than an hour as it is a tender kind. The preparation took me only 15 minutes and the cooking time is only 30 mins.. Kumusta naman yun? I can still have an ample time to do my homeworks for tomorrow's meeting and a li'l quality time playing with my baby Kebz (my spoiled British long hair cat).
I hope you will like it guys!
