Beef Asado, Braised Beef

Beef Asado, Braised Beef
Beef Asado, Braised Beef is one of the more popular Pinoy beef recipe that are served on most Pinoy Chinese restaurant in the country. It is also served at some fastfood chain restaurant. I have already posted several variation of the dish which are labelled under Braised and Asado. Cooking asado is fairly easy just combine all the ingredients and let it simmer at medium to low heat for about an hour defending on the type of meat cuts used. Then just add cornstarch towards the final stage of cooking to thicken the sauce and give some glazed look of the dish.

    What's the reason why you add the sugar after the beef has been boiled? Why can't you add it together with the rest of the ingredients?

    It's better if you sauté the garlic onions and ginger first before adding everything water and beef.. the flavor Will come out from the garlic, onions and ginger. . That's my opinion..
