Nilagang Baka (Boiled Beef) Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 kg beef cubes, about 2-inch, washed
• 2 onions, quartered
• 1/3 cup ginger, sliced
• 2 cups sweet potatoes, cubed*
• 5 pcs green long chili
• 1 bundle of Pechay or Pak Choi, trimmed, cut and washed
• 3 sweet corn, cut into three
• Cabbage, optional
• Salt
• Peppercorn, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Put the beef cubes, onions and ginger in a pressure cooker. If using peppercorn, put them as well. Add 6 cups of water.
2. Close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook in a high heat until it reaches high pressure. When it reaches high pressure and whistles, you can lower down the heat and you can start counting the cooking time. For the 2-inch beef cubes, it can be done after 30 minutes.
3. Turn the heat off and wait until it reaches low pressure (no smoke is coming out from the pressure cooker) before you put the sweet potatoes, corn and chilis. If you are in a hurry, you can manually remove the pressure by bringing the cooker under running water (lid still intact).
4. When the pressure is gone, put sweet potatoes, corn and chilis. Again, turn on the heat until it reaches high pressure and turn off the heat again; wait for it to lower the pressure. Few minutes before serving, add pak choi [and cabbage, if using].
5. Season with salt.
6. Serve as a soup or with rice. I love to serve mine with squeezed calamansi, lemon or lime.
