moment, still, it’s all about the beef afritada. Of the numerous variations of this ubiquitous Filipino stew, I’ve to say this is my fave. I ’m not important of a beef person, but there’s just commodity about chopstick– tender meat smothered in a thick, hearty sauce that’s hard to repel.

Cuisine tips
- Shindig the potatoes, carrots and peppers in a visage so they keep their shape while cooking in the sauce.
- Cut the beef into invariant size for indeed cooking.
- Pat dry with paper apkins as redundant humidity will produce brume and help a caramelized crust from forming on the meat.
- Brown the beef duly. Shindig on medium–high heat and don’t overcrowd the visage. Be patientand let the meat brown before turning.
- Contrary to popular belief, riding meat isn’t meant to seal in humidity, but to add depth of flavor and a more charming color. Finish the stew in the same visage and do n’t indeed bother to wash or wipe the visage after browning the beef. These heated pieces add inconceivable flavor to the goulash!
- You can reduce the liquid until it clings deliciously to the meat and potatoes, or you can poach it until it thickens into a rich sauce that can be laded over the rice.
How to serve
Serve Afritadang baka as a main dish for lunch or regale with fumed rice. Another of my favorite ways to enjoy it’s as a pandesal filling for a noon snack.
