Beef Salpicao
What you’ll need
1/4 kilo of mechado cut beef
3 tablespoons of olive oil
3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons of garlic, minced
1 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
2 tablespoons of butter
*2 tablespoons of toasted garlic, or McCormick minced garlic
*optional
How to do it
– Once you’ve defrosted your meat, cut the meat into small portions (that is if you have
bigger cuts of meat)
– In a medium sized bowl, place the following ingredients:
– 1/4 kilo of mechado beef
– 3 tablespoons of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 teaspoon of ground black pepper
– 3 tablespoons of olive oil
make sure to mix well and marinate it for at least 30 minutes.
– Once marinating is done, bring out your frying pan and set your stove to high heat.
Place the beef and make sure to sear the meat evenly on all sides.
– Then add the:
– 3 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
– Marinade
and mix well.
– Add the 2 tablespoons of butter and let it cook for three (3) minutes.
– When that is done, transfer your Beef Salpicao to a serving bowl or plate.
– Using the same pan, with a little olive oil toast your garlic then place on top of the Beef Salpicao.
If opting to use McCormick minced garlic, no need to toast just add it on top of the dish.
Serves four (4) people | Best served with steamed rice and a bowl of chicken noodle soup. 🙂
Notes on this recipe
– In addition to our traditional garlic I also added McCormick minced garlic, just to add more garlic. I noticed the chopped garlic I had wasn’t enough so I decided to add more, plus it adds more garlicky flavor.
– Any frying pan will do but if you have a heavy-bottomed pan that will be much better since that evenly distributes the heat.
– Why set your stove to high heat, because the faster you cook your beef the more tender it becomes.
– Instead of using mechado cut beef, you can also use beef sirloin or tenderloin
