If you are in for a busy day, then this is a dish that you can prepare without sweat! Easy beef salpicao is what it is, easy, quick cooking, but definitely not short of flavor and yum factor.
I typically cook this on days when I have an extremely long list of back to back chores (like when i have to review my eldest for an exam, i have to catch up.on my cloth diaper laundry, or I have writing backlogs). You see, it is easy to cook — no more than five minutes. Prep time is easier too and i discovered a way to further cut short that prep time.
When i buy beef in the grocery, and i intend to use it for salpicao, i choose my favorite cut and then ask the butcher to slice it further to me for salpicao. It is a free service after all, so might as well take advantage of it.
Now once we get home, i wash the beef and prep the marinade, and marinate the beef for twelve hours. Yes even if i do not intend to use it later or the next day. Why? Because I can freeze it and thaw it the day I would like to cook it. Almost zero prep time on D-day right?
So without further ado, here’s the recipe of —
Quick and easy beef salpicao
Ingredients:
1kg beef chopped into small cubes (i usually choose tenderloin)
6-7 pcs garlic minced
3-4 tbsp liquid seasoning
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp olive oil
1-2 tbsp butter
Pinch of paprika
Pinch of pepper
Optional ingredient: chili flakes
Procedure for the beef salpicao recipe
1. Mix all the ingredients except for the beef, oil, butter, and garlic to make the marinade.
2. Mix the marinade thoroughly and pour over the beef cubes. Marinate for at least 30 minutes.
3. Once ready to cook, heat oil and saute the garlic until golden brown. Remove the garlic and set aside.
4. Strain the beef cubes, and fry for two to three minutes searing all sides of the cubed meat.
5. Add some of the marinade mixture and cook for another 1 minute. Add the butter stir through the cubes and it is done!
6. Serve with the toasted garlic on top. Add chili flakes if you want it spicy. I usually use marble potatoes as a side to this dish because my eldest loves it!
