Ingredients for Beef Salpicao Recipe:
| Ingredients | Quantity |
| Beef tenderloin, thinly sliced into strips | 500 grams |
| Minced garlic | 6 cloves |
| Soy sauce | 1/4 cup |
| Worcestershire sauce | 2 tablespoons |
| Oyster sauce | 1 tablespoon |
| Butter | 1 tablespoon |
| Olive oil | 1/4 cup |
| Ground black pepper | 1/2 teaspoon |
| Red pepper flakes (optional) | 1/4 teaspoon |
| Cooking oil | 2 tablespoons |
| Sesame oil (optional) | 1 tablespoon |
Cooking Instructions:
- Start by marinating the beef. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, oyster sauce, minced garlic, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes if you want a little kick of heat. Mix everything well, then add the thinly sliced beef. Toss the beef in the marinade until it’s evenly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. The longer you marinate, the more flavorful the beef will be.
- After the beef has marinated, it’s time to cook! In a large pan or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the marinated beef and cook for about 3-5 minutes or until the beef is browned and cooked through. Be careful not to overcook the beef as it can turn tough.
- Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter and olive oil to the pan. The butter adds a rich and luscious flavor while the olive oil prevents the butter from burning. If you prefer a more pronounced sesame flavor, you can also add a tablespoon of sesame oil at this stage.
- Stir the beef in the pan to ensure it’s coated with the butter and olive oil mixture. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
- Now, the Beef Salpicao is ready to serve! Transfer the mouthwatering beef to a serving plate and garnish with some chopped parsley or spring onions for a pop of color.
- Beef Salpicao is best enjoyed with steaming hot white rice. The combination of tender beef and the savory, garlicky sauce is a match made in culinary heaven!
Pro Tips:
- When choosing beef for Salpicao, go for tender cuts like tenderloin or sirloin. This will ensure that the beef remains succulent and tender after cooking.
- Slicing the beef thinly allows it to cook quickly and evenly, resulting in a delightful texture.
- For an extra punch of flavor, you can add a splash of fresh calamansi juice or lime to the marinade.
- Feel free to customize the recipe to suit your taste. If you love a bit of heat, add more red pepper flakes or chopped chili peppers. For a touch of sweetness, drizzle in a bit of honey to the marinade.
- If you want a heartier meal, you can serve Beef Salpicao with garlic fried rice instead of plain steamed rice.

Frequently Asked Question (FAQs):
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Certainly! While tenderloin and sirloin are popular choices for Beef Salpicao due to their tenderness, you can also use other cuts like ribeye or flank steak. Just ensure that the beef is sliced thinly to achieve the desired texture.
How long should I marinate the beef?
For best results, marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and infuse it with deliciousness. If you have the time, marinating for an hour or more can further enhance the taste.
Can I make Beef Salpicao ahead of time?
While it’s best to serve Beef Salpicao fresh and hot, you can prepare the marinade and slice the beef ahead of time. Keep them refrigerated separately until you’re ready to cook. Once cooked, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Is Beef Salpicao a spicy dish?
The level of spiciness can be adjusted to your preference. The red pepper flakes in the recipe add a hint of heat, but you can omit them if you prefer a milder version. If you like it spicier, you can increase the amount of red pepper flakes or add chopped chili peppers.
Can I substitute the Worcestershire sauce with something else?
Worcestershire sauce plays a significant role in giving Beef Salpicao its distinctive flavor. However, if you don’t have it on hand, you can use soy sauce or oyster sauce as a substitute. Keep in mind that the taste may differ slightly, but it will still be delicious.
