True to Colombian taste and flavors, Frank Torres, showcases his culture through food that he serves. Such is his passion that being a Colombian living in Australia, not only does he bring together his community but also portrays a different view about his country to make people from other cultures experience a new Colombia through the food that he offers.
A whole list of tasty dishes are on offer at his restaurant in Melbourne, our absolutely lip-smacking favorite was the Colombian Beef Flanks.
Colombian Beef Flanks by Frank Torres is special because it’s still marinated the same way his mother learned it from her parents: with beer, garlic, capsicum, coriander, cumin, spring onions, and no doubt, a seasoning of family secrets.
