Filipino Beef Salpicao is a quick and savory stir-fried beef dish loaded with garlic and umami flavors from soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Juicy beef cubes are seared to perfection and finished with a garlicky glaze—perfect with garlic rice or mashed potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef tenderloin or sirloin, cut into cubes
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
  • Chopped green onions or fried garlic chips for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and sauté until lightly golden and fragrant. Remove some for garnish if desired.
  3. Add the beef cubes in a single layer. Sear without moving for 1–2 minutes per side to develop a good crust.
  4. Pour in soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to evenly coat the beef.
  5. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, just until beef is cooked through but still tender.
  6. Add chili flakes or mushrooms at this stage if using. Stir briefly until heated through.
  7. Turn off the heat and let the dish rest for a minute before serving.
  8. Garnish with green onions or reserved garlic, and serve hot with garlic rice or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Use high heat to sear the beef quickly and avoid overcooking.
  • Choose tender cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for best texture.
  • Add mushrooms for an earthy flavor or chili flakes for heat.
  • For extra richness, finish with a small pat of butter off heat.
  • Serve immediately to keep the beef juicy and tender.
