Follow these straightforward steps to create your very own Tapsilog:

1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine the minced garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and black pepper. Add the sliced beef and mix well. Marinate for at least 1-2 hours in the refrigerator or overnight for enhanced flavor.

2. Prepare the Garlic Rice: If you haven’t already, cook the rice. Sauté 2-3 cloves of minced garlic in a bit of oil until golden, then add the cooked rice, stirring well. Season with salt to taste. Set aside.

3. Cook the Beef: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the marinated beef slices and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

4. Fry the Eggs: In a separate pan, heat oil over medium heat. Crack in the eggs and fry them sunny-side-up or to your desired doneness.

5. Assemble the Dish: On a plate, arrange a serving of garlic rice, top with the cooked beef, and place the fried egg on top.

6. Serve with Dipping Sauce: Serve with vinegar on the side as a dipping sauce for extra flavor.

By following these easy instructions, you’ll have a delightful Tapsilog ready to enjoy in no time!
