About Beef lugaw
Beef Lugaw is a traditional Filipino rice porridge known for its comforting warmth and hearty flavor. Made with cooked rice simmered in a savory beef broth, this dish often includes tender beef cuts, garlic, onions, and ginger for depth of flavor. Topped with fried garlic, green onions, and sometimes a squeeze of calamansi, Beef Lugaw is a favorite rainy-day or recovery meal due to its soothing qualities. Rich in protein from the beef and carbohydrates from the rice, it provides energy and supports muscle repair. Ginger adds anti-inflammatory benefits, while garlic is known to promote heart health. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation—higher sodium content in the broth or fried toppings may be less ideal for heart health if consumed frequently. Moderation is key to enjoying this Filipino classic as part of a balanced diet.
