Beef Tapa (Tapang baka)

Beef Tapa has become increasingly popular in the Philippines. It is commonly served with breakfast. It is, however, great with any meal. You can find it in many fast food restaurants and carinderias in the Philippines. It is traditionally sun dried. Time does not always allow this, however. In this recipe, we use a marinating process which is similar to the process of sun drying. We use a soy sauce for marinating, but salt can be added if you wish. Beef tapa is delicious when combined with fried rice and  eggs. The dish is sometimes referred to as “Tapsilog.” This means tapa or sinangag at itlog. A nice addition is the use of tomatoes as a side dish. It is very similar to “Beef jerky.” This is a dried, salted cured beef. If you are searching for a bacon substitute, this recipe is your answer.
