    Filipino cuisine is also known as ‘Pinoy,’ which is a term that includes a wide spectrum of foods that belong to the Filipino culture, from well-known ones to the niche ones. And when it comes to that, this Pinoy beef recipe is probably one of the better ones.

    As popular as Pinoy beef is, there are different variations with different ingredients and cooking techniques. One of the most popular ones among them is this Pinoy recipe from Beef Panlasang, a well-known and popular ethnic food chain. But what makes it different?

    Beef Panlasang uses beef sirloin, which makes their Pinoy beef recipe stand out among the others. The ingredients, which are all fairly accessible, are perfectly balanced, and the result is simply magnificent.

    Instructions

    1. Prepare the marinade by combining the beef, soy sauce, lemon, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
    1. Ideally, you should marinade overnight, but an hour or two will also do the job.
    1. Heat cooking oil and sauté the onions in a pan.
    1. Add the beef. Cook for a minute or two.
    1. Remove the beef from the heat, and add the garlic. Sauté the garlic for a few minutes.
    1. Once the garlic is done, add the marinade with water. Add the beef, and bring it to a boil.
    1. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Substitutions

    • Cooking oil — Choosing the right cooking oil matters, but you shouldn’t let it become a huge concern. Common alternatives like canola oil, palm oil, and vegetable oil will work great for you. And if there is one thing these have in common, it’s that they all have high smoke points. And that’s what matters the most.
    • Soy sauce — Soy sauce is the cornerstone item in most marinated recipes. It’s not surprising though, considering that soy sauce provides a complex and rich flavor that is not so easy to replace. However, you still have some alternatives. Fish sauce, for example, is preferred by some over soy sauce. Still, keep in mind that the fish sauce might be a tad too strong for some Western mouths.
    • Beef sirloin — Beef sirloin is simply the best option. It’s one of the leaner cuts, which is an important aspect when making Pinoy beef, and it’s well-suited for sautéing, frying, and grilling. Beef sirloin also holds up the marinade well, too. You could also get away with using other cuts like beef chuck, beef round, and beef brisket; with the latest one even offering a method called “brisket injection” as a much more practical marinade method.

    Variations

    • Garlic pepper — While it’s true that the original Panlasang Pinoy beef recipe calls for some garlic as well, this one’s for true garlic lovers. Heat cooking oil, add the garlic, and let it turn golden brown. Add cornstarch and butter to the mix, and you’re all set! Who knows, maybe some umami taste in the form of toasted garlic is exactly what your Pinoy beef needs.
    • Gravy Pinoy beef — To all those who don't like gravy, we strongly recommend giving this one a try. Warm, savory, and smoking gravy sauce fits like a glove in Pinoy beef, so the fact that this is one of the most popular versions shouldn’t really come as a surprise.

    Equipment

    • Measuring spoons and cups.
    • Cooking pan.
    • Mixing bowl.

    Storage

    • Allow your dish to cool completely first.
    • Transfer any leftover Pinoy beef into an airtight container immediately.
    • Store your Pinoy beef in your fridge. It will last for 4-5 days.

    Tips

    • The marinade — A good marinade is the difference between an average Pinoy beef and a great one. So, make sure that you don’t go cheap on the marinade ingredients, especially with soy sauce or fish sauce. Again, if possible, try to marinate your beef overnight. You’ll be amazed by the results.
    • The seasoning — This one is the most basic one among all the other Pinoy beef recipes, which means you get to be a bit creative, especially when it comes to the seasoning. Especially if you’re an experienced cook, feel free to add more seasoning ingredients that suit your taste. Ginger and bay leaf, for example, comes to mind. More seasonings mean an even more complex flavor, so make sure you try different things.
