A Flavorful Twist of Binagoongan Dish

Beef Binagoongan, is a delicious Filipino dish that offers a flavorful alternative to the more commonly known binagoongang baboy. This recipe is perfect for those who do not eat pork or for individuals living in areas where pork is not readily available, such as some Middle Eastern countries where pork is not consumed due to religious reasons.

Sauteing the Beef

Start by sauteing garlic and onion in a medium-sized pan until they are cooked. Then, add the beef strips and saute them for at least 30 seconds. This initial step helps to infuse the beef with the flavors of the garlic and onion.

Simmering the Beef

Next, pour in 1 to 2 cups of water, add a laurel leaf, and some pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer until the beef is tender. This process helps to tenderize the beef and allows it to absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.

Evaporating the Liquid

Once the beef is tender, let the liquid evaporate until the beef strips are almost dry. This step concentrates the flavors and ensures that the dish is not too watery.

Adding the Flavorful Ingredients

Add the shrimp paste, coconut milk, and sugar to the pan. These ingredients add richness and depth of flavor to the dish. Cover the pan and simmer the mixture over low heat. Stirring occasionally ensures that the flavors are well distributed.

Adjusting the Taste

Taste the dish and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the dish is too salty, add a little more sugar to balance the flavors. Finally, add the green chili peppers for a spicy kick.

Serving the Dish

Once the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, remove the pan from the heat and serve the beef binagoongan hot. This dish is best enjoyed with steamed rice, which helps to balance the richness of the sauce.

Notes

Cooking Tips:

  1. Choosing the Right Beef - Select beef cuts that are suitable for long, slow cooking, such as chuck or brisket. These cuts have enough fat and connective tissue to become tender and flavorful when cooked low and slow.
  2. Properly Browning the Beef - Ensure the pan is hot before adding the beef strips to achieve a good sear. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow the beef to brown evenly. This step adds depth of flavor to the dish.
  3. Balancing the Flavors - Adjust the amount of shrimp paste and sugar to achieve the right balance of salty and sweet flavors. Taste the dish as you cook and make adjustments accordingly. This ensures that your binagoongang dish has a well-rounded and delicious taste.
