This is a family recipe, created by my grandma on my dad’s side. My dad is the oldest of nine kids; while big families weren’t so uncommon in the Philippines a few decades ago, you can imagine it was tough feed such a large group on a limited budget. This recipe is proof that you can make a few ingredients go a long, tasty way.
The Basics
- Chuck roast – cut into large pieces
- Potatoes – peeled and cut into a large pieces
- Tomato sauce – The large can
- Soy sauce
- Garlic powder
The Rundown

Brown beef in a large pot with a tbsp of oil. Remove beef and set aside.

Add potatoes to the pot and cook potatoes until just about cooked. It’ll take about 10 minutes. Make sure you stir occasionally.

Add tomato sauce, a few shakes of garlic powder, and about 1/4 cup of soy sauce. Let simmer for about 20 minutes. Serve with rice. Enjoy!
