Beef Salpacio
This classic Filipino stir fried garlic beef has its origins from Spanish cuisine. The name is derived from the word salpicar, meaning to spatter, sprinkle, and pepper, which is exactly what’s going on. The beef gets seared with a lot of garlic, then briefly simmered in a slightly spicy soy/Worcestershire sauce base. Serve the beef with mounds of garlic fried rice.
