Beef Salpicao
Beef Salpicao is a dish composed of cubed beef sirloin or tenderloin, lots of minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and some liquid seasoning (the seasoning can either be oyster sauce or soy sauce -- but I think using oyster sauce is better). This could be mistaken as cubed garlic steak because of the very close resemblance (it also resembles the steak used in Chipotle’s Steak Burrito minus the garlic).

After doing some research on the origin of this dish, it seems that the trail that I am following lead me nowhere. The next famous salpicao outside of the Philippines can be found in Portugal. The name of the dish is spelled as salpicão and it is a type of sausage that uses different kinds of meat. It also looks very different from the Philippine salpicao dish. I guess that I need to dig deeper into this matter unless some of you know something about it. You could always inform us by placing a comment.
It is important to use the tenderest part of the cow when cooking this dish. Since searing the meat until it dries up does not take that long, there wouldn’t be enough time to tenderize the meat that you are cooking. I highly recommend using beef tenderloin or sirloin for this recipe.

I’m not sure about their claim. Heating the pan before cooking is necessary for sauteeing and preventing the food from sticking. I personally think that this is one of the basic cooking techniques that everybody should be aware of.
It seems that Beef Salpicao is also a favourite in Spain:

This dish is very simelar. The Worcester sauce means that it was not from the time of occupation but taken there later
Name is probably from the spanish ‘salpicar’ verbo transitivo
1 (con un líquido, barro, etc) to splash, spatter
2 (con especias, etc) to sprinkle
I hope this helps
love this. mom cooks one also and it’s so good. love the garlicky taste
