Bulalo Beef Pares is a version of my favorite Pares recipe that makes use of beef shank, which is locally know in the Philippines as bulalo. It has the same delicious taste of pares and the richness and beefy flavor of bulalo. Believe me, it is really good!

Bulalo Beef Pares

Bulalo Beef Pares is a crossover between a Filipino beef shank soup known as Bulalo, and a favorite meal combination composed of stewed beef, garlic fried rice, and soup — this is called beef pares.

This recipe literally performs the same process to make each individual dish. For example, the first process involves making the beef tender by boiling in a pressure cooker. This is almost the same step as cooking bulalo, except that I had to cook the beef shank further by stewing it in a sweet soy based mixture, which is actually the preparation for making beef pares.

If you are interested to try this dish, I suggest to schedule it during the weekend so that you will have extra time to prepare and enjoy the dish. Take it easy on the garlic fried rice because there is a huge chance that you will need this advice.

    Tried this recipe and it was delicious. What would happen if I put star anise together with the beef shank in the pressure cooker?

      Thanks for the feedback. You can do that too, but the star anise can break down into pieces. We only want to extract the flavor out of star anise, not eat it as it is.

    Great Recipe. I’m facing the same problem as noted by the comment above though, what can I do if I have no pressure cooker? What’s a good alternative?

      Nice to hear from you, Hannah. There is no other similar tool that can provide the capabilities of a pressure cooker when it comes to making the meat tender at a faster rate. The two options that you have are (1) to use the traditional method by boiling beef for at least 3 hours, or (2) to use a slow cooker,which will make your cooking time longer. This crockpot beef pares recipe is a good example for the second option.

    This looks delicious. I do not have a good experience with pares but this might change my opinion.

    Question: I do not have a pressure cooker. Should I double the amount of ingredients for boiling as well as the time if I will use a regular pot?

    Thanks!
