Beef Tapa

Beef Tapa is a a sweet and spicy marinated beef dish. I learned to make this from the Filipino cooks working for me. Some of their dishes have become part of my regular rotation of meals. This dish only has a few ingredients and is simple to make. You can substitute pork or chicken for the beef if you prefer.
