Kare-kare

Method

Heat oil in a large pot and brown the beef in batches, then set aside. In the same pot, sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, add onions and cook until softened. Return beef to the pot and pour in the beef stock, then simmer for 45 minutes until the meat is nearly tender. Strain the annatto-infused water and stir in the groundnut butter with fish sauce, then add this mixture to the pot and stir well to combine. Add potatoes and aubergine, simmer for 15 minutes, then add long beans and cook for a further 10 minutes until all vegetables are tender. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. Serve hot with steamed white rice and shrimp paste on the side.
