Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Filipino Beef Giniling (Afritada Style).
Step 1
To start your delicious dish, gather all your ingredients in one place for easy access.
Step 2
This little prep step makes cooking a breeze! In a large saucepan, warm up some oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Once it’s shimmering, toss in the minced garlic and sauté it for about a minute until it fills your kitchen with a delightful aroma.
Step 4
Next, add the ground beef along with half a cup of water.
Step 5
Cook and stir the mixture for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the beef is nicely browned and crumbly.
Step 6
Don’t forget to season it with ground black pepper, and if it starts to dry out, just add a splash more water to keep it juicy.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to introduce the cubed potatoes and carrots to the pan.
Step 8
Pour in three tablespoons of soy sauce and let everything cook together for about 4 minutes, adding more water if it looks a bit dry.
Step 9
After that, stir in the raisins and let the mixture simmer for another 2 to 3 minutes, adding water as needed to keep it from sticking.
Step 10
Now, grab a can of tomato sauce and pour it in.
Step 11
Rinse the can with a bit of water, swirling it around to get every last bit of sauce, and add that to the pan too.
Step 12
Stir in the remaining half can of tomato sauce until everything is well combined.
Step 13
If the mixture seems too thick, adjust the consistency with a little more water, aiming for a nice, saucy texture that’s not too soupy.
Step 14
Next, mix in the diced bell pepper, a sprinkle of sugar, and the last three tablespoons of soy sauce.
Step 15
Keep cooking while stirring occasionally, adding water as needed to maintain that perfect sauce consistency, until all the vegetables are tender, which should take about 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 16
Enjoy the wonderful flavors coming together in your pan, and get ready to serve up a hearty meal that’s sure to please!.
