How to make home made Beef Tapa
Beef Tapa is dried cured beef similar to “Beef Jerky“. This is traditionally prepared by curing the meat with sea salt and letting it dry directly under the sun for the purpose of preserving the meat. Nowadays, commercialized Beef Tapa are often cured but most do not undergo drying.
Tapa is usually fried and is best served with vinegar. A popular combination called “Tapsilog“ is commonly served in eateries called tapsihan and gotohan. Tapsilog is an abbreviation for Tapa, Sinangag (Fried Rice), and Itlog (Fried egg). Other meats used to make tapa are: Carabao’s meat (tapang kalabaw) , Deer’s meat (tapang Usa), Wild Boar’s meat (tapang Baboy Ramo),and horse’s meat (tapang kabayo). Speaking of tapang kabayo, Matty’s tapsilogan in Don Galo, Paranaque serves one of the best tapang kabayo in the Las Pinas-Paranaque-Muntinlupa area.
This tapa recipe does not entail the use of any preservatives. This is intended for home consumption and is a good “pambaon” for school and work.

i’m a fan of you and your site and a subscriber sa youtube. nakakatuwa kasi nakita ko ito dito, nung isang araw pa kasi ako nagccrave sa tapa e lol. thanks for this recipe kuya.
ang dali dali lang pala gumawa ng tapa. tinesting ko ito ngayon, bukas ko pa lulutuin hehe. pero may tanong po ako, nakita ko po na yun ibang tao e nilalagyan nila ng vinegar yun marinade nila. nasubukan nyo na po ba magluto nito ng may vinegar? ano pong difference? thank you 
I don’t put vinegar in the marinade, I just use it as a dip for tapa. I tried that before, CJ – but I prefer marinading tapa without vinegar.
ba’t matigas yung luto ko? help !
Liz, try using beef sirloin or tenderloin. If in case you have brisket or other non tender slices, try pounding it after slicing or apply some meat tenderizer powder before marinating.
You know what? U are such a great help to me special now I just migrate here in Canada and don’t know much of cooking (‘coz my usually cooks for our family… )Keep on Posting recipes… Thanks anyways…
correct me if I’m wrong, but i thought vinegar was amongst the ingredients of making tapa??
You may also use lemon soda if you want, just don’t add sugar anymore. Haven’t tried that though, subukan ko yang sinasabi mo one of these days para ma-compare natin ang difference.
yung ginawa ko nilagyan ko din ng lemon.ang sarap pala ska nilagyan ko pa ng oyster sauce nung minamarinate .ang sarap, malasa sya
