This cured beef is a popular breakfast meal in the Philippines usually served with garlic fried rice (sinangag) and eggs (itlog) fried sunny side up, forming the portmanteau tapsilog. The marinade is normally heavily laden with garlic, but I have as usual omitted that here. Add 3–5 cloves of minced garlic if you prefer. 🇵🇭🐄🥩🌄
