My version of Beef Salpicao is so good! My family goes nut over this. This Filipino classic dish is beyond delicious and easy to make. You only need 8 ingredients and 20 minutes. I use tender cubes of beef ribeye steak (you can use any steak you want), lots of fried garlic, and the salpicao sauce. This is one of my favorite beef recipes of all time.

Ths Beef Salpicao is perfect for busy nights as this whole dish comes together in 20 minutes. Faster than takeout!
It is my favorite beef dish from my childhood. It is packed with so much flavor and it takes less than 20 minutes to make. My dad used to make the best beef salpicao, he used to put a whole head of garlic. It was amazing. He also made the best chicken adobo.
This is amazing with my Garlic Fried Rice, You will also love it with my Asian Coleslaw - the beef is rich, so that fresh crunch balances everything out perfectly.

Easy Filipino Beef Salpicao
Ingredients
Method
- Cut the beef into cubes and marinate for as long as you can. For me, 10 minutes is plenty.1 ribeye steak cut into 1 inch cubes, 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp oyster sauce, ½ tsp black pepper
- Mince the garlic. In a pan over medium heat, add 1.4 cup of avocado oil. Once the oil is heated, carefully add the thinly sliced garlic and shallots.10 garlic cloves sliced thinly, ¼ cup neutral oil
- Fry the garlic until it turns golden brown and crispy. Remove the garlic from the pan. Use a sieve.
- Add 2 tablespoon of the saved garlic oil to the pan, on high heat, sear the steak for 2 minutes on each side
- Once the beef is seared beautifully, add the rest of the marinade and the cold butter.2 tbsp cold butter
- Just before serving, sprinkle the crispy garlic over the beef. Serve this with freshly steamed white rice, your favorite veggies or salad and garnish with green onions.
Notes
- Choose a tender cut: Begin with quality beef like sirloin steak or tenderloin for a tasty and tender outcome.
- Get a nice crust: Cook the beef on high heat briefly to get a nice, caramelized crust while keeping the inside juicy and tender. Do not crowd the pan.
- Add Cold Butter at the end. Cold butter makes the sauce thick and glossy.
