Beef salpicao is what happens when garlic meets butter meets beef meets a hot pan. It’s a Filipino classic\u2014tender cubes of sirloin seared hard, then simmered in a dark, savory sauce of Worcestershire, soy, and oyster sauce. The garlic gets crispy. The sauce gets buttery. You will not stop eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a 15-minute meal. Perfect for busy weeknights when you want something that tastes like you tried really hard (but you didn’t).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 2-3.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
1 lb (450g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, cubed (1-inch pieces)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
10 cloves garlic, minced (yes, ten)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
3 tablespoons butter<\/li>\n\n\n\n
2 tablespoons olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon soy sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 tablespoon oyster sauce<\/li>\n\n\n\n
1 teaspoon black pepper (coarse)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Salt to taste<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Optional: chopped parsley or green onions for garnish<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Step 1: Sear the Beef<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Heat oil in a cast iron or heavy pan over high heat until smoking hot.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add beef cubes in a single layer. Sear for 1-2 minutes per side until deeply browned. Work in batches if needed. Remove beef and set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Cook the Garlic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic. Cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant and just starting to turn golden. Do not burn.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Make the Sauce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Add Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and black pepper. Stir and let bubble for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Finish the Dish<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Return beef to the pan (including any juices). Toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 1 minute until heated through.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Taste and add salt if needed (the sauces are already salty).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Transfer to a plate. Spoon extra garlic and sauce over the top. Garnish with parsley or green onions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Serve immediately with hot steamed rice.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a pan over medium heat (microwave will toughen the beef). The sauce may thicken\u2014splash in a little water or beef broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pro Tip:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Don’t skip the high heat for searing. That browned crust is where the flavor lives. And yes, ten cloves of garlic is correct. Trust the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
