Although this does take a while to cook there is very little preparation time and you can basically throw everything in a pot and let it cook while you do things around the house. http://www.grouprecipes.com/11616/beef-and-mushroom-stew.html My famiy loves this dish. Even my picky American wife likes it and definitely a favorite among Filipinos. It is somewhat pricey for most families to serve on their table all the time, but it sure is a treat when they do. http://www.grouprecipes.com/11005/bistek---filipino-beef-steak.html
