Beef Mechado

A beef dish from the Filipino kitchen.

Ingredients

  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 sliced Onion
  • 2 Lbs Beef
  • 8 ounces Tomato Puree
  • 1 cup Water
  • 3 tbs Olive Oil
  • 1 Slice Lemon
  • 1 large Potatoes
  • 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • To taste Salt

Method

  1. Make the beef tenderloin marinade by combining soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, olive oil, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.
  2. Add the cubed beef tenderloin to the bowl with the beef tenderloin marinade. Gently toss to coat the beef. Let it stay for 1 hour.
  3. Using a metal or bamboo skewer, assemble the beef kebob by skewering the vegetables and marinated beef tenderloin.
  4. Heat-up the grill and start grilling the beef kebobs for 3 minutes per side. This will give you a medium beef that is juicy and tender on the inside. Add more time if you want your beef well done, but it will be less tender.
  5. Transfer to a serving plate. Serve with Saffron rice.
  6. Share and enjoy!
