Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Filipino
Ingredients: 3 cloves Garlic; 1 sliced Onion; 2 Lbs Beef; 8 ounces Tomato Puree; 1 cup Water; 3 tbs Olive Oil; 1 Slice Lemon; 1 large Potatoes; 1/4 cup Soy Sauce; 1/2 tsp Black Pepper; 2 Bay Leaves; To taste Salt

Hey there, foodies! Today, I'm going to show you how to make a delicious Beef Mechado that will transport you straight to the Philippines. So, here's the deal. I once mistook sugar for salt in a marinade recipe (oops!) and let me tell you, it was not a tasty experience. Always double-check your ingredients, folks! Now, let's add a little twist to this recipe. To make your Beef Mechado even more flavorful, try adding a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the marinade. It's my secret ingredient for that extra umami kick! Alright, let's get cooking! Marinate your beef tenderloin with all the good stuff – soy sauce, vinegar, and the gang – and let it chill for an hour. While you're waiting, reminisce about that time you accidentally set off the fire alarm while cooking – good times! Now skewer your marinated beef and veggies, and get ready for a flavor explosion in your mouth. Trust me, this Beef Mechado will have you coming back for seconds, thirds, maybe even fourths (no judgment here!). Enjoy your culinary journey, and don't forget to have fun in the kitchen!

Directions

0. Make the beef tenderloin marinade by combining soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, olive oil, sugar, salt, and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Mix well.
2
1. Add the cubed beef tenderloin to the bowl with the beef tenderloin marinade. Gently toss to coat the beef. Let it stay for 1 hour.
3
2. Using a metal or bamboo skewer, assemble the beef kebob by skewering the vegetables and marinated beef tenderloin.
4
3. Heat-up the grill and start grilling the beef kebobs for 3 minutes per side. This will give you a medium beef that is juicy and tender on the inside. Add more time if you want your beef well done, but it will be less tender.
