Majority of the time I spent on slowly cooking the beef on medium heat to make it really . The rest will just take about 12-20 minutes max.With the Spanish influence in the Philippines, we have our own version of Pochero using local and easily available ingredients. The basic component of a Pochero is a tender beef stew with some green leafy veges. Many households add in thier favorite vegetable like chick peas, squash and cabages. Some even ad sausages (chorizo) to their soup.Pochero soup are not limited to beef, it could be pork or chiken or mix.Pochero is the soup that everyone can enjoy.

Made an early Dinner today I love this dish another Spanish Influenced dish. What I love about this is the tenderness of the meat and the crunchiness of the vegetables and the heartiness of the potatoes and let’s not forget the sweetness that comes from the plantains and the tomato sauce broth that meets steamy hot rice or serve it with mashed potatoes you’ll truly enjoy this stew.

I never liked beans; but over time I grew to love them. I ESPECIALLY like anything simmered in tomato sauce. Here’s a terrific fusion of the two; another Filipino household favorite.PS: Grandma likes to pan-fry the potatoes, chicken, and plantains ahead of time to get some color on the outside, but it’s purely for aesthetics. This version doesn’t do that - but you can totally do it grandma’s way if you like :)

A Filipino-style Picadillo. You can use this recipe as empanada stuffing too, just make sure to simmer until the sauce dries up.

Beef Salpicao is a Spanish inspired Filipino dish consisting of grilled beef cubes cooked popularly in two ways, one loaded with peppers and another one loaded with garlic.

Just made this for lunch and it was awesome! Even my 5-year old loved it! Really yummy!

My favorites! All my childhood i grew up eating sopes made with pork and red chile. My grandmother's recipe from Guadalajara, with a few twists of mine. Guaranteed to be a staple in your family dishes once you make it for your family for the first time. Traditionally ive seen it made with carne para desebrar. (Shredded beef) and red chile. But heres my version. I always get asked for the recipe and its requested by my family over and over again

When I was down in Florida I tried a great classic Cuban dish called ropa vieja. It was was so good that I had to try to make it. It’s like a beef stew. I used a chuck roast but the classic recipes call for flank steak.

I'm a first timer cook and I've learned the hard way all by myself through google's help. I was amazed and so was husband too. I've made it successfully and really delicious. I'm not really into eating habit even before but when I've learned how it caused me pleasure by reasonable means. Cooking made me feel so thrilling from now on.

This particular dish is a common one in the cheap street-side eateries around the Philippines. It is heavily Chinese-influenced from its use of spices. Pares (pa-RES) is the Filipino word meaning 'pair', and the dish got this name because it is typically served paired with garlic fried rice. 🇵🇭

My grandmother made this and I gave it my twist!.. Good as stew or over rice... Keep your carrots and potatoes a lager cut this way when it's boiling down doesn't turn to mush and add frozen peas I find better hold than can peas the last 5 minutes .. For a robust flavor add tub of Sofrito in frozen Spanish section .. I will make soon and post.. My grandmother added can of tomato sauce as well when I add my tomatoes plus small can of tomato paste when add Sazon packets... Didn't have so didn't use good either way
