Hello dear friends, I'm a little gecko. It's my habit to use simple words to introduce delicious food. Today, I'd like to recommend you a great ingredient for May – beef brisket. In this spring season, chicken and pork are not as delicious as it.

Just simmer it and you'll have a delicious flavor that goes well with rice!
