In such a special time like this, we’ve been cranking up our creative juices to develop some super easy to cook & comforting recipes where you only need minimal, easy to substitute, pantry ingredients. All of this yet still delicious & doesn’t compromise on flavors! 😀

So, we’re excited to share our first #CookingTogether with Amy + Jacky Recipe with you!

This HK Tomato Beef is inspired by a very popular Hong Kong comfort food, hence the name HK (Hong Kong) Tomato Beef.

You’ll love the very comforting blend of sweet-savory-tangy-beefy flavors that make it really easy & appetizing to eat!

This dish went down so quickly as we happily gobbled it all up one spoonful after another with a big satisfying smile.

It’s an incredibly easy and forgiving recipe. And we’ve purposefully developed this recipe to yield juicy tender beef with lots of yummy sauce to eat with rice, pasta, noodles…etc.

*Pro Tip: Be sure to cook enough rice or pasta to go with the yummy beefy sauce! 😉

Brown one side for 5 minutes before flipping over, then brown the other side for another 5 minutes.

Finally, remove the browned chuck steaks, then set aside.
