Beef Bicol Express

Beef Bicol Express is the beef version of the popular Bicol express dish. The latter uses pork (usually pork belly) as the main ingredient. I got some gorgeous fresh beef chuck from the supermarket and I decided to consume it for this dish. I was attracted with the nice looking marbled fat. This adds a nice flavor to the meat and maintains moisture
