About Beef nilaga

Beef Nilaga is a traditional Filipino comfort dish known for its hearty, nourishing qualities. Originating from the Philippines, this boiled beef stew is made with tender chunks of beef shank simmered alongside vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, green beans, and carrots in a savory clear broth. Occasionally, corn on the cob and plantains are added for a touch of sweetness. Rich in protein, iron, and essential vitamins, Beef Nilaga is a nutrient-dense meal that supports muscle health and provides sustained energy. The inclusion of vegetables adds fiber and vital antioxidants. However, it can be high in fat depending on the cut of beef used and any added seasonings, so moderation is key for a balanced diet. Typically enjoyed with steamed rice, this simple yet wholesome dish is a reflection of Filipino home cooking and a perfect choice for cold-weather meals.
