Savory Filipino beef dish with ground beef, potatoes, veggies, raisins, and tomato sauce - a comforting favorite!
Ingredients:
  • 1 tablespoon oil, or as needed
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 1.5 cups water, divided, or more as needed
  • ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 medium red potatoes, cubed
  • 10 baby carrots, or more to taste, cubed
  • 6 tablespoons soy sauce, divided
  • 0.5 cup raisins, or more to taste
  • 1.5 (6.5 ounce) cans tomato sauce with salt (such as Contadina®)
  • 0.5 medium orange bell pepper, diced
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar
Instructions:
  • Prepare all your fresh and delicious ingredients.
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, heat oil and sauté garlic until fragrant, around 1 minute.
  • Brown and crumble the beef in a skillet with 1/2 cup water, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. Season with black pepper and add more water if needed to keep the beef moist.
  • Combine the potatoes, carrots, and 3 tablespoons of soy sauce in the pan and cook for 4 minutes. If needed, add water to prevent the mixture from drying out. Stir in the raisins and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes, adding water as necessary.
  • 1. Pour one can of tomato sauce into the saucepan. Fill the empty can with water, swirl to remove excess sauce, and pour into the saucepan. Stir in the remaining half can of sauce until combined. Adjust consistency with water as needed, aiming for a saucy, not soupy, texture.
  • Add the bell pepper, sugar, and the remaining 3 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cook while stirring occasionally, and add water as necessary to keep the sauce from drying out. Cook until all the vegetables are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
