Tapsilog with Tapa a la Salpicao

To make tapa for tapsilog, yakiniku-cut beef is seasoned a la salpicao and fried just until lightly caramelized.
Off the heat, chopped raw onion is tossed in. The onion bits cut through the fattiness and add a light crunch to the tapa.

Ingredients

Tapa

  • 500 grams yakiniku-cut beef
  • 2 tablespoons finely minced garlic

  • 1 small onion peeled and roughly chopped

Garlic turmeric fried rice

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil use some of the oil in which the tapa was cooked
  • 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 2 to 3 cups cooked rice (see notes after the recipe)
  • salt to taste

To serve

  • 3 eggs fried sunny side up

Instructions

Marinate the tapa

  • Cut the yakiniku beef into half-inch strips.
  • Place the beef in a bowl, and mix in the garlic, pepper, Worcestershire sauce and liquid seasoning.

Assemble the tapsilog

  • Ladle rice on a plate.
  • Spoon the tapa a la salpicao around it.
  • Arrange an egg on top of the rice.

Cook’s Notes

Cooked rice is NOT newly-cooked rice. It is a bad idea to make fried rice out of rice that has not been allowed to cook and dry up. Using day-old rice which has chilled in the fridge overnight is ideal.
