Pares or beef pares is one of the popular dish which is equivalent to braised beef. “Pares” literary means “pair” which is a combination of braised beef or beef stew as a tasty viand and a bowl of soup. Commonly it is served with fried rice or garlic rice. Actually there is nothing very special about the dish but it seems that it is very popular.

There are many food establishments that I see serving this dish specially in small eateries along sidewalks. It think the reason why is so popular is the convince and simplicity aside from the good taste of course. It is similar to “tapsilog” where everything you will eat is in a single plate. The fried rice is molded in a cup and poured some beef stew on the side. And a bowl of soup to accompany the dish.

    This recipe is terrific. I added 1 thickly cut red bell pepper with the onion for color and flavor contrast with the beef, and used chuck steak rather than brisket to save money.

    My friends asked me to make it again very soon! No higher compliment I’m sure you’d agree.
