This is what I grew up eating in the Philippines until it comes a lot of different range & nowadays you can even have it anytime of the day. Mostly people who works at night they go straight to their fave Tapsilogan Restaurant after office work in the morning before they go home. Just like me. After a grave yard shift (night shift) I went straight to this pretty cool Tapsilogan Range in Mabolo, Cebu City.
I'm talking about Tapsilog. It is the term used when TAP ("tapa":cured beef), SI ("sinangag": garlic friend rice), and LOG ("itlog":fried egg) are combined into one meal, which is good for breakfast, but can also be served at lunch and dinner. There are other variations of this Pinoy classics but this is the most popular one.
I will explain to you what this plate is all about.
Let's start with the rice. Fried rice is simply day-old rice sauteed in a big saucepan with a piece or two of garlic and oil. Leftover rice is better over newly steamed rice because it tastes better when the humidity of the rice already seeped away.
For garlic fried rice or Sinangag:
* 2 cups of day old rice.
* 5 cloves of garlic (or however you want.)
* onions, chopped.
* Salt and pepper to taste.
For the eggs, they are usually fried but I prefer mine poached (some they prefer scrambled eggs)
Egg or Itlog
* 2 fried eggs
And the main component, the beef tapa. They are thinly sliced beef rubbed with salt & other spices and fried. There are so many different versions of the marinades.
For the meat or Tapa:
* Beef sirloin 1 kg.
* A whole bulb of garlic, minced finely.
* 3/4 cup of vinegar
* 1/4 cup white sugar
* Salt, 1 tbsp.
* Same with pepper, 1 tbsp.
Tapsilog Recipe Preparation - Cooking Instructions:
1). Put all the ingredients together in the meat marinade mix except the meat in a big container or a ziplock.
2). Mix it well, then add meat. Let it marinate for 2 days for best flavour, or 30 minutes if you want to be fast.
3). When done marinating, fry the meat in a pan. Set aside.
4). Make garlic fried rice in same pan. Fry the garlic first, then onions, then rice, add seasonings and garnish with salt and pepper to taste.
5). Serve with an egg of your choice on the side or put it on top of rice.
