About Beef kare-kare

Beef Kare-Kare is a traditional Filipino stew known for its rich, nutty flavor and vibrant golden color. This dish features tender chunks of beef, often paired with ox tripe or oxtail, simmered in a savory peanut sauce. It is typically accompanied by hearty vegetables such as eggplant, green beans, bok choy, and banana blossoms, making it nutrient-dense. Kare-Kare is served with bagoong (fermented shrimp paste), which adds a salty depth to balance its mild sweetness. While the dish is high in protein and provides vitamins and minerals from its vegetable components, its creamy peanut sauce contributes to its calorie and fat content. The sodium from the bagoong can also be significant, depending on portion size. Careful preparation and portion control can make this satisfying Filipino comfort food a balanced addition to your meal plan.
