Beef Pochero

{{totalReview}}
Beef Pochero is a well-known Filipino stew of Spanish origins. This sweet and sour dish is almost similar to the Beef Nilaga (Boiled Beef Soup) if not for the addition of the tomato, Saba (sweet plantains) and a very Spanish ingredient - Chorizfo. While the recipe is pretty simple, be prepared to wait a while for your meal as you’ll need to let the beef simmer until tender. Pour into a bowl once ready and serve it with a side of rice - this makes it the perfect dinner to look forward to after a long day of work.
