Kare-Kare

Kare-Kare is one of the best-known and most loved dishes in Filipino cuisine, consisting of peanut sauce, beef, and vegetables. This dish is traditionally served on festive occasions, and the creamy texture of the peanut butter makes it truly special. The uniqueness of Kare-Kare lies in the shrimp paste (bagoong), which adds an intense flavor to the dish and perfectly complements the rich sauce.

    Preparation Steps

    1

    Cut the beef into large pieces and simmer in salted water or beef broth for 1.5-2 hours, or until tender. Reserve the cooking liquid.

    2

    Slice the eggplants. Clean the green beans and bok choy. Lightly sauté the vegetables in a pan with a little oil, then set aside.

    3

    Heat the oil in a pot and sauté the finely chopped onion and garlic until softened.

    4

    Add the rice flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it forms a light brown roux. Stir in the annatto powder, then slowly pour in the beef cooking liquid, stirring constantly, to create a thick sauce.

    5

    Stir in the peanut butter and cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    6

    Add the cooked beef and vegetables, then cook for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

    7

    Serve hot with shrimp paste on the side. Best served with rice.
