Beef Soup

Every time we go to the Filipino store I always get ingredients for beef soup. Since I moved here in the US from the Philippines, soup is not really serve during the meals. I mean in the Philippines there's always soup serve during the meal, usually when it is lunch time or dinner time. So what I do is I cook a beef soup once a month. I thought that it is weird...hheeh...:) So here's what we had for dinner.

Here is the Recipe!


1 kilo beef
8 potatoes
1 bundle Pechay (Bok choy) cut into 2 pieces
1 small cabbage
5 onions, diced
1 head garlic, minced
4 tablespoons of patis (fish sauce)
3 tablespoons of oil
1 liter of water

Beef Stew Cooking Instructions:

Continue to simmer until potatoes are cooked. Add the cabbage then the pechay. Do not over cook the vegetables. Salt and pepper to taste.Serve steaming hot in a bowl and plain white rice.
