Ginataan means dishes with coconut milk and there are varieties of ginataan dishes in Filipino cuisine. From desserts to viands you can find those kinds of dishes. One of them is the ginataang baka or beef stew with coconut milk. When buying your beef briskets, choose potions with fat which will make this dish more appetizing. I’m sure if you like ginataan dishes, you will love this beef stew in coconut milk. Traditional extraction of coconut milk is more tasty when used on dishes unlike those canned or in powder form. The extraction process is by grating the mature coconut and adding about 1/2 cup of hot or warm water then squeeze the grated coconut in a cheesecloth to get the coconut milk. Anyway if there are no other options, you can use the canned or powdered coconut milk.

    just tried this recipe today, kuya. i’m not sure if its supposed to be watery? mine turned out more like soup than a stew. i’m used to ginataan that has more thickness i guess?

      Hi Albe, that is what is suppose to happen when you follow this recipe. But if you want it thicker, you can use coconut cream instead and add the coconut cream after you add the Baguio beans and don’t mix. Also reduce the broth before adding the coconut cream.
