Beef pares

Just like Manang Kusinera who gets nostalgic over beef pares, I occasionally think about the times I’ve enjoyed steaming bowls of rice and tender boiled beef topped with lots of toasted garlic and chopped onion leaves. Pares, literally “pair”, means the combination of rice and beef. In Philippine eateries, the customer may opt to enjoy his beef with noodles instead of rice. What characterizes the beef pares from other beef-and-rice or beef-and-noodle dishes is the very tender meat. Cuts with lots of litid (ligaments) are used to achieve a texture that is tender and sticky at the same time. Brisket and shanks are ideal for making beef pares.
I have to say that I have yet to come across a recipe for beef pares. This is my version.

ms connie,
I’m nostalgic about pares too but i think i prefer your beef “kimchi” or korean beef stew recipe kasi parang mas simple gawin. we use to go to Cocoy’s along Visayas avenue for my family’s pares fix. Even though we live nearer the original pares house in retiro, i forgot the name of that place. Your “kimchi” recipe was a success in my family kitchen just two days ago. Print ako ng print ng mga recipe mo. Enjoy na enjoy ako.
Thank you for the recipe. my family loves it.
it would be better if you would saute the beef first in 1tsp of oil then deglazing the pan with beef broth… then you can start by adding your seasoning and then roasting it in a slow cooker…
LOL that is hilarious. Sauteeing seals in the beefs juices and makes for a less flavorful broth which is necessary for making a good sauce.
thanks i already try, sarap…
thanks! would be of great help specially for me still trying to be a good cook..GOD BLESS!
