Recipe
Preparation
This dish is known as a 'slow cook' and is prepared over wood fires
in the villages. Keeping the pan covered and simmering slowly
ensures that the flavors are sealed in. It is a typical method of
village cooking.
Marinade: 1. Mix the marinade ingredients together; pour over been,
and marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Put the beef and marinade in a pan, add the water and lemongrass,
and stir to mix. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat
for about 1 1/2 hours. Do not uncover the pan until beef is almost
tender. Shake the pan once or twice during this time.
3. When the beef is tender, add the tamarind liquid; adjust the salt
if necessary. Cook the beef for 5 minutes more.
Serve warm with rice and other dishes.

Food Tips of the Week
Dieting made easy
One useful tip is to drink plenty of water. From time to time at some stage in a hectic morning, you guess that you want a snack but in fact you might just need a refreshing glass of water or orange squash. The feelings of needing food and needing a drink are quite similar, but one of the two can lead to a broken diet and the other is ok.
The case against low carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Moreover, it has been hypothesised that the kidneys can become stressed and that the resultant change in blood acidity levels can cause the loss of bone, but some of the studies testing the hypothesis have found no evidence of deterioration of the kidneys or bone damage.
Remember, one point that is frequently overlooked, it is very difficult (though by no means impossible) for vegetarians to follow a low carbohydrate diet.
Flavonoid foods
(inlcudes onion, asparagus, soya and thyme)
The large family of compounds known as flavonoids discovered in these types of food are believed to have properties in helping to prevent cancer.
Nutritionalists looking into the properties of flavonoids think that they also have numerous health giving properties, amongst them, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory capabilities.
Most are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program.
