Bulalo

Bulalo is a popular Filipino dish that translates to "boiled beef" in English. It is a traditional dish from the Visayas region, particularly Cebu, but it is now widely enjoyed throughout the Philippines. The dish is known for its rich, savory flavor and tender, slow-cooked beef. The preparation of bulalo involves boiling beef shanks or oxtail in a mixture of water, vinegar, and spices for several hours until the meat becomes tender and falls off the bone. The broth is then strained and seasoned with calamansi or lemon juice, fish sauce, and other spices to enhance its flavor. Bulalo is typically served with steamed rice and garnished with chopped green onions and chili peppers. It is often accompanied by other dishes such as fried rice, fried egg, and pickled papaya. The dish is a staple in Filipino cuisine and is often served during special occasions and family gatherings.
