Have you tried Paksiw na Pata, Batangas Style? Not the kind that's kind of like humba. The recipes online seem to be missing banana blossoms, if you ever want to try it.

I like to make a patismansi dipping sauce plus the siling haba you cook with the paksiw. It might already be sour but I think the calamansi in the sauce adds a different fresh tang to the experience.

True. Personally, I usually use both the kaldo or boiling broth *and* a broth cube, and both peanut butter (Right now I have some Lily's) *and* a kare-kare mix because that has the toasted ground rice and the annato color but the peanut flavor isn't quite enough. I think the annato is pretty important for the color of the kare-kare though, if I didn't have mix I'd probably use annato powder as well for that.

I hope it's not just the sauce in OP's "Crispy kare-kare" (Sidenote: Isn't it funny that it became kind of trendy to make a "Crispy" version of something and it just means it's Lechon Kawali in the respective sauce.) but also the vegetables.

My biggest challenge was definitely the frying process. Make sure the oil is hot enough when frying! Also, the potatoes will be pretty stuck to the pan if you try to flip them too soon. Be patient, when when fully cooked, they will come off the pan east to flip :)

When I worked at a restaurant (southern US) we weren’t allowed to sell burgers or hamburger steaks cooked less than Medium. So no medium rare even, but we would do blue rare steaks (sirloin, ribeye) at request.

If that centre has been 65C or over for more than 2 minutes, it's considered safe in the UK. It is very unusual for beef mince to stay this colour in that scenario.

Burger meat cannot be "medium rare" because of the contact areas for bacteria, which in mince are ground through the entire patty. Steak can be, because there is no surface area within; only where the heat touches the exterior of the meat. (Which is very quickly made safe by a hot pan/grill).

If I was served a burger this colour in the center I would not eat it.

My head chef went to an upmarket restaurant and had a burger that came like this. Spent a week off work, uncertain which end to hang over the toilet bowl.

Source: spent 10 years in the restaurant/hotel trade, most as a sous chef and undertook a number of different food hygiene and safety courses.
