SALPICAO JALISCO
My favorite meal in the Philippines is Salpicao. I recently came up with this interpretation of the recipe, which immediately became the family favorite. Don't let the garlic frighten you: the taste becomes milder as it cooks. Throughout the cooking process, drink Sangria to produce a mellow chef. Serve with steamed rice.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry garlic until just beginning to turn golden; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add beef to the oil, and fry until browned on the outside. As the beef is browning, season generously with salt, pepper and hot pepper sauce. Return the garlic to the pan, and cook until meat has reached your desired degree of doneness. It is best at medium to medium-well. Remove the beef to a serving dish using a slotted spoon.
- Mix the flour with about a cup of water, and pour over the drippings in the pan. Stir until smooth using a fork. Simmer over medium heat until thickened. Pour over the beef in the serving dish.

Steps:
- In a small stockpot, cook chopped onion, garlic, and half the parsley in oil until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Rub chicken with paprika, salt, and pepper and add to pot. Brown chicken on all sides. Add water to cover and bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook until meat is almost falling from bones, about 1 hour. Remove chicken from cooking liquid and set aside to cool. Strain cooking liquid and moisten chicken with a little of it. Discard remainder, or set aside for later use. (Chicken can be prepared a day ahead of time.)
- In a large, deep, heavy frying pan, heat at least 3 inches of vegetable oil to 375 degrees. Remove 1 potato from water and grate lengthwise on the largest holes of a hand grater, pressing hard to get longest shreds possible. Sprinkle carefully and evenly into the hot oil, covering entire surface of oil. Do not stir. When brown around edges, turn as you would a pancake. Cook until deep golden brown, lifting up edge of pancake to check color. Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. When cool, crumble pancake with hands and set aside. Repeat with remaining potatoes, grating and frying 1 potato at a time.
- When chicken has cooled, remove meat from bones and discard skin and bones. Shred chicken into long, thin pieces.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine carrots, sliced onions, green beans, shredded chicken, fried potatoes, remaining parsley, and mayonnaise. Toss well to combine, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve within 1 hour.

Tips:
- Select high-quality beef: Opt for well-marbled beef cuts, such as tenderloin or sirloin, for a tender and flavorful salpicao.
- Cut the beef against the grain: This technique helps tenderize the meat and makes it easier to chew.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, citrus juice, garlic, and spices enhances its flavor and makes it more succulent.
- Cook the beef in small batches: Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking and prevent the beef from steaming instead of searing.
- Don't overcook the beef: Salpicao is best enjoyed when the beef is cooked to medium-rare or medium, as overcooking can make it tough and dry.
- Use a flavorful broth: When making the sauce, use a flavorful broth or stock to add extra depth and richness to the dish.
- Add vegetables for extra nutrition: Feel free to add vegetables like diced carrots, bell peppers, or onions to the salpicao for a healthier and more colorful meal.
- Serve immediately: Salpicao is best served hot off the pan, accompanied by steamed rice or your favorite sides.
