The Filipino Beef Tapa (Pan-Fried Marinated Beef) This dish may be prepared ahead and frozen for future use. Great for breakfast with Filipino-style fried rice. I eliminated the saltpeter (potassium nitrite) chemical which is usually included in the marinade.

2 lbs. sirloin beef, sliced thinly into desired serving pieces

Method:
Thoroughly combine sugar, salt and pepper in a small wide bowl. Dip both sides of the sliced beef into this mixture.
Marinate beef in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Stir beef around occasionally to distribute flavor evenly.
In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, pan-fry beef pieces in a little oil until browned on both sides. Serve warm. Serves 4-6
