IMG_2848

INGREDIENTS

beef, strips
oil
garlic
vinegar
salt and pepper

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Marinate strips of beef in vinegar, garlic and oil for 30 minutes to an hour
2. Heat oil and fry the beef with the marinade until brown and tender

I've always wondered how tapa is made and apparently, it's quite easy. When I go to the grocery, I see ready-made tapa mixes and I've always wondered if they'd be good. Anyway, this one is very easy. I like tapa because although I not a breakfast person (my first meal is always lunch) I've always loved breakfast food  --- egs, tocino, tapa, champorado, tuyo, pancakes, cereals, bacon, I can go on. I love tapa with runny eggs and fried rice because it completes the TAPSILOG (tapa-sinangag-itlog) combination that we, Filipinos, love. 

I am guessing you can add some soy sauce if you want some color; and you can probably add some chili if you want them to be spicy. I haven't tried it, though. I will let you know if it's okay, once I have... and I will let you know if I've tried the ready-made tapa mixes sold in the grocery, too.
