If you have ever visited the Philippines you will find that we eat rice pretty much all day long, with every single meal. When I visited my family in Manila for a month I ate this for breakfast pretty much every single day. Unless I was having a sweet tooth craving, in which case I would eat ensaymada (a buttery, cheesy sweet cake). I love to break the yolk of the egg on top of the rice and then devouring it all together in one big mess.
If you have never had a sunny side up egg on rice before you do not know what you’re missing out on in life! The usual way to make beef tapa is to use cured beef which you would revive with the marinade (overnight) that is used in this recipe. Instead of using cured beef we are using fresh beef and letting it pressure cook in the sauce making it cut like butter and oh so finger licking good. I highly recommend you try this recipe out with garlic fried rice and a sunny side up egg, but you can always just enjoy it with plain jasmine rice like my kiddos do.

This turned out amazing. Thanks for the recipe!
I keep finding myself coming back to your recipes! Yum!
This sounds amazing!! In the interest of not having a pantry full of ingredients I don’t use often, is it possible to substitute fish sauce for the oyster sauce? I’ve never used oyster sauce so have no idea if they’re interchangeable, so thought I’d ask before I go shopping. Thank you so much!!
I believe you could substitute it with oyster sauce, although it will make it a tad bit sweeter than the recipe I provided. BUT overall it will still taste just as delicious, I’ve interchanged, added and altered this recipe many times on my own due to your same obstacle where you only have limited ingredients on hand. It comes out delicious every time though so I would definitely just go ahead and use that and later when you have time and want to just purchase the fish sauce then, or don’t if you like it with oyster sauce. 🙂
