You can try "Kare-kare". Here is the description so that you would have an idea. Kare-kare is a Philippine stew. It is made from peanut sauce with a variety of vegetables, stewed oxtail, beef, and occasionally offal or tripe. Meat variants may include goat meat or (rarely) chicken. It is often eaten with bagoong (shrimp paste), sometimes spiced with chili, and sprinkled with calamansi lime juice. Any Filipino fiesta, particularly in the Tagalog region, is not complete without kare-kare. In some Filipino-American versions of the dish, oxtail is exclusively used as the meat ------------------how to cook----------------------- Kare Kare Recipe Estimated cooking time: 2 hours Kare Kare Ingredients: 1/2 kilo beef (round or sirloin cut) cut into cubes (for a more traditional kare kare, use cleaned beef tripe instead of beef) 1/2 kilo oxtail, cut 2 inch long 3 cups of peanut butter 1/4 cup grounded toasted rice 1/2 cup cooked bagoong alamang (anchovies) 2 pieces onions, diced 2 heads of garlic, minced 4 tablespoons atsuete oil 4 pieces eggplant, sliced 1 inch thick 1 bundle Pechay (Bok choy) cut into 2 pieces 1 bundle of sitaw (string beans) cut to 2" long 1 banana bud, cut similar to eggplant slices, blanch in boiling water 1/2 cup oil 8 cups of water Salt to taste Kare Kare Cooking Instructions: In a stock pot, boil beef and oxtails in water for an hour or until cooked.
