Fat Girl's Recipe : Beef Binagoongan

one of my favorite filipino dishes is Pork Binagoongan but since yesterday we had pork already why not make it beef... im not sure what it might taste like at first but i had to know..

BEEF BINAGOONGAN

Ingredients:
1 kilo beef cubes, (might be cool if you could get the ones that we use for caldereta, with bones)
2 cups bagoong alamang (im using Connie's Kitchen DULONG-Anchovy Fry)
1 tbsp. tomato paste
1 head of garlic, minced
1 big onion, minced
2 chili peppers, minced
½ cup vinegar
4 tablespoons brown sugar
½ cup water
Procedure:
Use a pressure cooker to softened the meat.
When beef is tender, put in on the side and sauté (use the corn oil from the Anchovy fry with a little butter) garlic, onion, and chili peppers then mix.
Add in the bagoong and cook while stirring for 5minutes.
Add in the tomato paste.
Pour in the vinegar and stir well.
Add in the sugar and let simmer for 10 minutes or until cooked.
Season to taste.

You're probably wondering why there's tomato paste.. its because my sister (jheii) doesn't eat bagoong. so i figured to put tomato paste since she eats practically anything, as long as its cooked with tomato paste. And the reason for using Anchovy instead of Shrimp, is because beef is more tender and the more it can absorb the saltiness of the anchovy fry and the more you can work out with the dish itself. when you use pork its better to pair it with shrimp paste. and plus I've never used it before. hahaha! Anyways.. It tastes delicious. Pair it with Plain rice and you're good to EAT!

Enjoy!
Eat Happy Everyone!
