Beef Nilaga Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Beef Nilaga or Nilagang Baka is literally translated as “Boiled Beef”. This is a simple soup dish best served during rainy and cold weather. Have you noticed the similarity of this dish to that of the Bulalo and Beef Pochero?

Beef Nilaga

I highly recommend this dish to those who are learning how to cook because it takes almost no effort at all to prepare (just have patience in tenderizing the meat). This was actually the first dish that I’ve tried after fried egg.

This Nilaga recipe is the best that I’ve tried. This is quite unique because of the use of carrots. It makes the dish more colorful and adds vitamins such as Vitamin A to the meal — making it more nutritious. I like having beef nilaga when it is very hot. It keeps me feel warm on cold days and gives me the nourishment that I need.

    Bok choy in Nilaga? Ok but during my 5 years in the Phil’s my girlfriends, wife and mother in law all used cabbage. We used baboy usually. Neuva Ecija.

      Long green pepper can be added. However, I do not recommend adding tomato for this dish. You might want to check this beef sinigang recipe if you want to add tomato to your soup.

    Hi! I was born in the states my father is a native of the Philippines and my mother is mestiza so I am 3/4 Filipino but I consider myself Filipina because of my upbringing and I love the food. My parents divorced when I was young and my father remarried a Pinay who is an excellent cook. I love to cook and try new dishes. My family loves my cooking but at the next gathering I can’t wait to see their expressions when I show up with some of the popular Filipino dishes I think I can pull it off with your easy to follow instructions & videos. Thanks so much!
