We have noticed how our Chicken Pastel has been sitting in our list of published recipes alone for quite some time now so we have decided to put a twist on that seeing how much you loved it last time. Truly, one of the many things we love about Filipino dishes is that it is dynamic and versatile, so to say. The protein ingredient on most of the Filipino dishes can be switched up to a different one so today, we are giving you another Pastel recipe, our Beef Pastel Recipe.

Much like our Chicken Pastel recipe, you could expect our Beef Pastel to be a creamy adventure ready to take you to delicious new heights you will never get tired of reaching. Seriously, this one is something you and your family will bond over more than once because this dish will be a staple on your scheduled meal plans.

As we have mentioned, our Beef Pastel is a creamy dish that will have you drooling in no time, but of course, it is also more than that. Made with braised beef, sausages, and vegetables all swimming in a rich and tasty sauce, there is no doubt in our hearts and palates that this hefty meal will have you babying a full, round belly by the end of lunch, dinner, or whenever you have decided to dig into this!


Don’t even get us started on whether our Beef Pastel is a perfect match with steamed white rice, because we are telling you right here, right now that it is! The sauce of this one is already a viand on its own, which you could pair with rice, so you sure could bet that you will be having more than just one serving of rice when this dish is what you have on your dining table.

We are telling you, our Beef Pastel is more than what you have bargained for. In fact, it will not meet your expectations as it will actually exceed all of them—from its creamy sauce, succulent vegetables, and tender and tasty beef; we promise you, this dish is a luscious promise we intend to keep, so you could certainly hold us up on this one.
