Beef and Tripe Pochero Recipe

I love kare-kare and pochero. I like the ox tripe in kare-kare and I thought that it is be a good match with beef especially when cooked pochero style. I wanted the tripe and beef simmered until both gets really tender. That is something like this pochero dish that I made for you; the tripe and beef is so tender and delicious.

I started out by cleaning the tripe well. I made sure to wash it with water and soak it in hot water for a few minutes to get rid of the odor. The cooking process is simple and straightforward; you just need to ensure that the tripe and beef gets really tender though. This means cooking in very low heat (also called simmering) while the cooking pot is covered. You will also need to check the liquid and make sure that it does not dry-up. Add water if you think that the sauce is evaporating too fast. Aside from simmering for more than an hour, you can use a pressure cooker to speed-up the process. 25 to 35 minutes in the pressure cooker should be enough.

I enjoyed my beef and tripe pochero with warm white rice and a dip made-up of fish sauce and cayenne pepper. I don’t usually drink soda, but I think that it made my meal more enjoyable.
