Filipino Beef Giniling (Afritada Style)

A hearty and flavorful Filipino dish made with ground beef, vegetables, and sweet and savory flavors.

Ingredients

  • oil (1 tablespoon)
  • garlic (1 clove)
  • ground beef (2 pounds)
  • water (1.5 cups)
  • ground black pepper (0 )
  • red potatoes (2 medium)
  • baby carrots (10 )
  • soy sauce (6 tablespoons)
  • raisins (0.5 cup)
  • tomato sauce (1.5 (6.5 ounce) cans)
  • orange bell pepper (0.5 medium)
  • white sugar (4 tablespoons)

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add beef and 1/2 cup water; cook and stir until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with black pepper and add more water as needed; do not let beef dry out.
  4. Add potatoes, carrots, and 3 tablespoons soy sauce; cook for 4 minutes, adding more water if mixture is too dry. Add raisins and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, again adding water as needed.
  5. Pour in one can tomato sauce. Fill the can with water and swirl to remove excess sauce; pour into the saucepan. Stir in remaining 1/2 can sauce until combined. Add more water as needed to create a saucy but not soupy consistency.
  6. Stir in bell pepper, sugar, and remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding water as needed so sauce does not dry out, until all vegetables are tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
