"This Filipino dish is rich in flavor due to the slow cooking of the beef with onions, garlic, tomatoes, crushed peppercorns, olives, and bay leaves," says lola. "The beef can be cooked to tenderness a day before, so you can skim off the fat. Do not use pressure cooker for this dish. This is a very versatile dish. It can be served with rice, bread or boiled potatoes."

"This dish is rich in flavor due to the slow cooking of the beef oxtail," says lola. "Oxtail can be cooked to tenderness a day before so you can skim off the fat making the dish more heart healthy. Using a pressure cooker will speed up cooking time, but will lose much of the flavor. Serve with rice and shrimp paste (bagoong)."
