Beef Asado

Beef Asado is a rich Filipino beef dish which gains flavor from simmering the beef slowly in a sauce with tomatoes, olives, onion, ketchup, red bell pepper and potatoes.

The beef can be cooked to tenderness a day before, so you can skim off the fat. Do not use pressure cooker for this dish. This is a very versatile dish. It can be served with rice, bread or boiled potatoes.
