Beef Afritada (Afritadang Baka)

October 27, 2015 by Manny 2 Comments

TweetPinShareYummly

Beef afritada is a variation of the popular chicken afritada. Which is a basic Filipino tomato based chicken stew. Instead of chicken, you use beef. Actually, afritada is the easiest compared to other Filipino tomato based stew like menudo, caldereta or mechado.

So I bet this beef afritada is an easy dish for you to prepare if you are scared to cook beef caldereta or beef mechado. Or this dish could be a good excuse if you made a mistake while cooking beef mechado because you didn’t follow the recipe and someone ask you what are you cooking? then just smile and say “It’s beef afritada!”.
