Paksiw na Baka Recipe
This Filipino classic dish combines the rich flavor of beef mixed with the sweet and slightly sour paksiw sauce infused with spices and seasoning.

There are 2 things to consider in preparing this dish. First, you need to make a crispy fried beef. Second, you need to make the delicious paksiw sauce.
Begin by seasoning the beef with pepper and Knorr Liquid Seasoning and just marinate this for an hour for that added taste.
After an hour, just fry the beef cubes in hot oil until brown. Drain on top of a plate lined with paper towels then reserve the marinade.
Get a pan, and place the lechon sauce, vinegar, crushed peppercorns, bay leaf and the marinade and bring this to a boil uncovered. Continue to simmer until the strong aroma of vinegar is reduced.
Now, gently add the beef and cook over low heat until tender. You may add more water if the sauce becomes too thick. Let the fat of the beef melt to give the sauce more flavour. Finally, season with enough salt and that’s it!
