This is Giniling Guisado (Ground Beef with Bell Peppers). This is a dish that doesn't get a lot of hype compared to other, more exotic and well
One of my best memories in college was eating lunch with my close friends at a small cafeteria less than a block away from our school. It was located in a street corner directly opposite the building of the Department of Foreign Affairs in Cebu before it relocated. This small eatery had the best pork giniling I’ve ever tried, the one that makes you order a second bowl of rice and savor every bite you have. It was so good that even up to this day I can still vividly remember how it looked, smelled, and taste like.
Giniling is a Tagalog word for ground meat and in Philippine cuisine refers to a dish made of ground meat (can be pork, beef, or chicken) with diced potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, peas and raisins simmered in tomato sauce, a little bit of water, soy sauce, and some seasonings and cooked until most of the liquid dried up. It is best served with hot boiled white rice.
For this post, I decide to share how to make beef giniling. There’s not much difference taste-wise between pork and beef when used in the recipe so go ahead if you want to use pork instead. This beef giniling recipe is very basic and simple. I omit the peas and raisins because some members of the family are picky with the hint of sweet taste, but rest assured the dish tastes as delicious. Enjoy!
1/2 kg ground beef
1 1/2 cups potatoes, diced
1 cup carrots, diced
1cup (8 ounces) tomato sauce
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium-sized onion, minced
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 piece beef cube
1/2 cup green peas
1/2 cup raisins
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup water
Cooking procedure:
Heat a cooking pot and pour-in the cooking oil.
When the oil is hot enough, put-in the garlic and sauté until the color turns light brown.
Add the onions and sauté until the texture becomes translucent.
Put-in the ground beef and cook for 5 minutes.
Add the beef cube, tomato sauce, and water and let boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.
Put the green peas, carrots and potatoes in then stir until every ingredient is properly distributed. Simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
Add raisins and sugar then salt, ground black pepper to taste. Stir and mix well..
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
Share and enjoy!
