BITKAS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into slices about 1/3 inch thick. With a meat mallet, hammer all the slices flat until they are 1/3 of their original thickness. Sprinkle each slice generously with salt, pepper, and paprika on one side only. Put 2 or 3 beef slices on a plate, with seasoning side up, and put some onion slices on top. Add layers of beef and onion until all the meat is out. Wrap the plate with plastic wrap or foil; set aside for one hour at room temperature, or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Pour water into a Dutch oven, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and add bay leaves.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat. Separate onions from bitkas. Reserve half of the onions, and discard the rest. Fry bitkas 3 at a time for 20 seconds on each side. Transfer fried meat into boiling water. When all the meat is added, reduce the heat and keep meat submerged in hot water.
• Chop the reserved onion coarsely. Saute in the beef drippings over medium heat. Drain, reserving drippings, and add onions along with mushrooms, prunes, honey and garlic to the meat. Skim fat from drippings, and add to the meat.
• Transfer the pot to the oven. Roast for one hour in the preheated oven. Turn the heat off, and then let the pot cool down slowly in the oven for approximately 2 hours. Repeat the heating cycle 3 times. After 20 minutes in the oven take the pot out, and fish out the mushrooms; cut into 1/8 inch wide stripes, and return to the pot.
• During the cooking period, take the pot out every 20 minutes and rearrange the bitkas. Check that nothing sticks to the bottom; normally nothing does. Check water level. If necessary, add some boiling water. Usually I have to add about 1/2 cup boiling water in the beginning of each heating cycle. During last heating cycle, check the sauce for seasoning. Season to taste.

BIBINGKA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix all ingredients in a greased 13 x 9 pan. Bake 1 hour at 350F, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. When cool, cut into squares.

BITOKS OF BEEF

Steps:

• Put the beef in a mixing bowl.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small saucepan and add 3/4 cup of the onions. Cook, stirring often, about 3 minutes without browning. Let cool.
• Combine the cooked onions, 1 cup of the bread crumbs, egg and milk and add to the beef. Add salt and pepper and blend well with the hands.
• Divide the mixture into 8 portions of more or less equal weight. Shape each portion into a ball. Flatten each ball into a patty and coat each with remaining bread crumbs.
• Heat the oil in a heavy skillet large enough to hold all the rounds in one layer. Cook until well browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook about 3 minutes on the second side. Transfer bitoks to a warm platter.
• Heat a smaller skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Add the remaining 1/4 cup chopped onions and cook until wilted. Add the paprika and stir. Add the vinegar and beef broth. Bring to a boil. Add the heavy cream and sour cream, stirring. Cook about 1 minute or less. There should be about 3/4 cup of sauce. Pour over the bitoks and dot the center of each with 1/2 teaspoon parsley. Serve immediately.
