NOW FOR THE FOOD:
Ingredients:
2.5 - 4 lbs. Chuck roast or any beef cut (Short Ribs with bones is my preferred - the bones make the broth taste SO good)

1 teaspoon - Fresh Ground Pepper
1 tablespoon - Kosher Salt
1/3 cup - Patis (fish sauce)
1/4 cup - Soy Sauce
10-12 cups of water (depends on size of the pot)
3-5 medium sized red potatoes (quartered)
1 head cabbage (chopped)
*2 large carrots chopped into 2 inch pieces (optional)
*2 corn on the cob cut into small pieces (optional)
Directions:
1. Cut meat into desired serving size pieces
2. Combine meat, peppercorns, onions, and water in a pot (fill the pot to where the meat is submerged an inch or more below the water)
3. Over high heat, bring contents to a boil; skim off the impurities
4. Add fish sauce, soy sauce, and salt and ground pepper
5. Reduce heat to medium low, cover, and set timer for 2 hours (a minimum of 1 hour 45 minutes)
6. With 20 minutes remaining on the timer, add carrots
7. With 15 minutes remaining, add potatoes

9. Check for taste and add more fish sauce, soy sauce, salt (or water if too salty)
10. Stir contents and remove from heat
11. Serve with rice

Exactly what I love about Filipino dishes. Most of the staple Filipino dishes are easy to follow, one-pot, and for the most part budget friendly. Perfect for feeding a bunch of hungry college kids.

[@TheDadBodChef]

So true! So easy. All four of my kids love this meal

[@UFCtrumpsboxing]

Also, although Pinoys use a lot of sugar in desserts, it is almost seldom, if ever, used in cooking, unlike the other Asians which use a lot of sugars in their dishes.

[@kanorjunior8306]

So far, That's the Best Nilaga I've ever seen prepared by a foreign filipino authentic food enthusiast. I bet it taste good. Great Job...

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thank you

[@rowenapediangco3552]

Pinaka masarap na nilaga! And least favorite ko ang nilaga pero luto ng asawa ko masarap talaga. 😋😋😋

[@elizavasquez4171]

Ang sarap magluto kahit hindi ko pa natikman. I’m sure super sarap.

[@ecilatnecniv]

​@@TheDadBodChefthe correct term should be L-in-AGA from the root word LAGA.. while english didn't use much infix or gitalpi in tagalog, filipino used infix so much... anyway, Nilaga is just common, though not correct but yes, commonly accepted.. we're not in a filipino language class, anyway..

[@fayefaye_4908]

Perfect example of "Sabaw palang ulam na". Sarap!

[@TheDadBodChef]

Yes I do. Sobrang masarap!

[@kevwanders]

DAMN. The KZbin was weird you deserves way.more recognition brooo.. You gotta get that Silver Play Button. Let's Go.!!!. I recognized that dish MANNY PACQUIAO used to have that whenever he's in the states out conditioning he'd always ate that... BEEF STEW

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thanks man. I really appreciate that. We're making more

[@carpediem5343]

Just came across your channel. Wow that looks very delicious. Now I want some...Nilaga with patis is delicious!! You know how to cook 👍🇺🇸🇵🇭

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thank you! I really appreciate your comment

[@Scott-ws1nw]

Luscious meal. I love beef nilaga to the bones, and the sabaw, so good especially in rainy, cold or winter season!

[@TheDadBodChef]

I love it all the time (since I'm in Alaska - cold season is year round :)

[@TM-mt6sx]

Growing up eating this dish is one way to say it's delicious👌👌👌

[@TheDadBodChef]

I grew up on it too

[@tessr9364]

I love it! ❤️ thanks for sharing!

[@rockerch1ck]

Best nilagang baka dish I've come across so far. I was looking for an authentic recipe that doesn't use Knorr Beef Cubes. So many vids all over KZbin using beef cubes with nilaga. Glad I found yours! Looks delish. Thank you for an awesome recipe!

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thank you. Everyone hates on it because I use soy sauce (an actual Asian ingredient), but everyone just accepts beef bouillon cubes (a French ingredient). Thanks for the compliments!

[@jamstellberry1398]

We boiled it first with corn, pepper corn and just to get easily those impurities of the beef, Then when the meat is tender we just put onions, cabbage, string beans, and fish sauce... Then for the sauce, fish sauce, calamansi and chilis 👍

[@TheDadBodChef]

Good technique

[@erenprincess3632]

Exactly kabayan👍

[@kulupingerzi]

Scrumptious😋 Love plenty of rice with this dish🤤 Excellent job!

[@TheDadBodChef]

so do I. thank you

[@nidagus2448]

Wow - Yummy! My favorite dish! Excellent!

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thanks a lot

[@narda9926]

[@josephjoeazul1217]

One of my favorite beef stew with fish chilly sauce and two plates of rice. umh! hyummy.

[@leepadua8987]

One of my favorite!!!

[@TheDadBodChef]

Me too

[@summersong5876]

Wow that’s some hearty meal right there. That dish will probably feed a family of four. Im gonna try this too.

[@TheDadBodChef]

I have a family of 6.... and it feeds us

[@johntuazon1366]

Awwww! One of my favorite Filipino dishes. Watching from the Philippines. 😊😊😊

[@TheDadBodChef]

Awesome. Thanks for watching

[@noypijr.1028]

One secret way to eat nilaga is to dip it with calamansi with fish sauce and chili pepper. Thats why sometime we dont make too salty since we could use the dip to enhance the flavor while eating it with rice.. I just hope you were able to show on the vlog that you have tasted it after..

[@TheDadBodChef]

I'll try to taste my food in future videos, but trust me - i ubos it all

[@rheac_6470]

Please take out the background music, can't barely hear 🙉 you at some points

[@reynaldocaparas6576]

Wow…! Bulaloooooh…! You dip in fish sauce or soy sauce with kalamansi and red chili..! Ahhh…! Sarap…!

[@TheDadBodChef]

Yup, pretty much. I still lean towards calling it Nilaga because to me Bulalo is with the beef shank.....but they are both so close and both so good

[@julieespiritu8191]

Nilaga is one of most favorite dish of all the Filipino people.. God bless you more..

[@TheDadBodChef]

thank you

[@artandglo]

wow im hungry looks delicious!

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thank you. It was

[@CORP-TV]

Wow bro, i miss that nilaga😀 specially the soup😋

[@TheDadBodChef]

It's so good

[@Mari443Garrett1]

That looks delish. It's good to eat when it's cold outside. Corn on the cob is a standard on Filipino Bulalo.

[@TheDadBodChef]

Nice

[@eduardochavacano]

Except this is not Bulalo. Wheee is the standards for this dish? Why was Fish Sauce used??? To make it sound more exotic. They added the corn to make it look like it was something worth hyping. It would have been better if they just strived for authenticity. This dish also known as caldo baca, uses potato and a vegetable called Pechay. No need to jazz it up with ingridients like fish sauce.

[@arturomiralomibaojr]

That is how we cook nilagang baka but without the soy sauce and with green beans too. Yum!

[@TheDadBodChef]

Once I added soy sauce.... game changer

[@nowieatheenabarasona3392]

That's very healthy. That's the favorite food of 8 time division manny "pacman" paquiao. That's why manny is very strong and quick.

[@TheDadBodChef]

That is awesome

[@estyel5036]

Saraaap! Nilaga😊🤩

[@TheDadBodChef]

Yes it is

[@tengpb]

It's my first time to see a nilaga with carrots. That's interesting. Whenever I cook nilaga I put pechay tagalog and baguio beans (aka snap or green beans) in addition to the other veggies.

[@TheDadBodChef]

I used to never use it.... now I like it

[@dhicon45]

You could put carrot to your nilaga to make taste a little bit sweet

[@elizavasquez4171]

I never seen soy sauce on nilaga.

[@TheDadBodChef]

@@elizavasquez4171 I know, but it's good

[@yuujikimura8348]

This us awesome recipe 😘 my favorite!!! But my favorite vegetables is bokchoi🥺

[@TheDadBodChef]

I make it with that a lot too

[@maybelfaderes2641]

[@lourdez6214]

Wow that's good man. When my wife cook that it's heaven... I really like nilaga best when meat is beef than pork

[@TheDadBodChef]

one of my favorites

[@Dave-my8iq]

my favorite nilaga!! 😩❤️

[@TheDadBodChef]

one of my favorites

[@miguelrafaelhontiveros9691]

Here in the Philippines, we make sure there's "sawsawan" or "dipping sauce" for every nilaga dishes. Fish sauce + calamansi/lemon = greatness

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thanks for the tips!

[@crazycarla1130]

You forgot the red chili

[@TheDadBodChef]

Next time

[@beautifulinsideout5258]

or fish sauce with red flakes chili.

[@ericasdiary490]

Miss ko na mag nilaga ❤️❤️

[@TheDadBodChef]

I do too sometimes

[@suzetteoguan2461]

looks very delicious

[@TheDadBodChef]

thank you

[@bashersbeware]

I couldn't have done it any better. Exactly the way I do it and the same exact ingredients as well (except for the soy sauce, which I'd like to try someday). That is the Nilagang Baka of Champions. For those who don't know, add Spanish chorizo, tomato sauce, plantain and Garbanzos, this dish becomes another Pinoy favorite we call Beef Pochero.

[@TheDadBodChef]

I've actually never tried pochero. I'll have to try to cook that

[@bashersbeware]

@@TheDadBodChef pochero's supposed to be on the sweet side. Just don't add sugar. The plantain's gonna do that for you. Use the ones 1-2 days after they have ripened.

[@Space_flygio]

The soy sauce is actually a great idea imo. It adds color and an extra layer of savoriness to the soup. I like garnishing my nilaga with chopped green onions some chili calamansi on the side. 😛

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thanks for the tips!

[@rosalinabulingot7979]

Yummy nilaga is the best. What I do is when the water boils that's when I will put the meat add a little onions and whole peppercorn. Then while boiling you see something that comes up on top water looks like a white or grayish color that is a blood from the meat so I'll spoon it out cuz I don't want that of course. Then when meat is soft as I you want it to be then add all the ingredients you have and dont forget the patis or fishsauce additional onions and pepppercorn to taste. For a dipper I'll mixed tbsp . Of lemonjuice and patis for added on top of met while eating

[@TheDadBodChef]

good technique

[@joops402]

That looks good 👍

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thanks 👍

[@rochellepereda5312]

Looks so delish!! What's good about this nilagang baka is you can add other veggies like bokchoy, wing bean, string beans and add few green chili for additional arom and taste...

[@TheDadBodChef]

I love a ton of veggies

[@jeniaklaro3958]

The way we do it here is we sauté it first to add flavor to the meat. Just a little browning of the meat. Then let some of its juices boil before adding hot water. That way, the temp goes high fast, it'll tenderize faster and the collagen between the meat starts breaking up.

[@TheDadBodChef]

Great tips

[@romzdawnjr6642]

Wow that's good for the whole family 👍👍👍👍

[@TheDadBodChef]

Fav nilaga 😻

[@TheDadBodChef]

One of my fav

[@NiX_aKi]

That looks really yummy! I'd do it differently though. I use minced ginger instead of peppercorns. Try it. Ginger balances the fishy stench of the Patis and it gives the broth this fresh spring flavor.

[@TheDadBodChef]

I'll try it one day. Thanks for the tip

[@melanietacud1376]

Hmmmm makes me wanna cook like that again 🤤😊

[@ztir6924]

Thumbs up to this! I like your version of Nilagang Baka. I add Saba (a type of Filipino Banana) sometimes when I cook this. It gives a hint of subtle sweetness to the soup.

[@TheDadBodChef]

I still have to try it with Saba instead of potatoes

[@beautifulinsideout5258]

@@TheDadBodChef Saba is a kind of chucky thick skin sweet banana. Saba is also good for snacks just boiled with skin on or dip in the banana in flour and a little sugar and fry. You can also wrap them with lumpia wrapper add jackfruit, sugar and fry.

[@Leah_Leigh]

I just ate nilagang baboy today 😊, that looks delicious... Hopefully your channel will grow...looking forward for more delicious meals...

[@TheDadBodChef]

Thank you so much! Hope it grows too

[@ecilatnecniv]

@@TheDadBodChef it doesn't need carrots, tho... and while cabbage is normal, most filipinos prefer bok choi... the slightly bitter taste of bok choi suits well to the simple taste of this nilagang baka.. that bitterness is preferable than the pungent cabbage and sweeter taste of carrots..

[@TheDadBodChef]

Carrots are something I just recently added. I think it makes the sabaw taste just a little bit better. I use bok choy a lot too, but cabbage is just easier for me to find and my mom put it in my nilaga growing up (cuz it was harder to find bak choy in Alaska back in the day) - so it is nostalgic for me as well

[@TheDadBodChef]

thank you

[@bashersbeware]

Nilagang Baka usually commands a lot of rice. What I do to minimize my rice intake is by adding a gazillion of veggies just like what you did here. It lessens the rice because you can't put them all in your spoon haha. I'm curious, have you acquired the use of condiments as dipper for your Pinoy dishes? What's your dipper for this dish?

[@TheDadBodChef]

I do the same when losing weight
