The kontakion usually has a biblical theme, and often features dialogue between biblical characters. By far the most important writer of kontakia is Romanos the Melodist. The only kontakion that is regularly performed in full today is the Akathist to the Theotokos
My mother's version is Bistec ranchero, this is one stew that has great popularity, however variations exist like that of most common dishes. Bistec Ranchero, is fromt Mexico, a regular meal for my mother growing up. Her version as I know was a compliment to the preparation of beef stew.
Timing note: If youâre making these to serve with our bistecca, start heating the oil a few minutes after you put the steak in the oven. Once the oil heats, add the potatoes and proceed with the bistecca recipe. By the time your steak is done, the potatoes will be nicely crisped and ready to eat.
