Sautéed Ilocano Vegetables with Ground Beef

Sautéed Ilocano Vegetables with Ground Beef. It has been sometime since I had an authentic Ilocano vegetable dish. Today I am sharing the beef version of a similar Ilocano vegetable dish Sautéed Ilocano Vegetables with Ground Pork.

Cooking procedure is basically the same all I did was used ground beef instead of ground pork. The vegetable ingredients are a medley of Ilocano vegetables that are in season. These includes labong, bulaklak ng kalabasa, alukun, saluyot  string beans ect.

Sautéed Ilocano Vegetables with Ground Beef is a personal favourite. Versions also include with fried or charcoal grilled fish. Cooking is straight forward as the name suggest all that is needed is sauté the meat ingredients with the usual Pinoy aromatics before adding the vegetable ingredients. 

Ingredients:

1/4 kilo shredded and parboiled labong, bamboo shoots

1 small bundle sitaw, string beans, trimmed, cut into 2” lengths
