Easy Recipes: Low sodium beef strips salad
My friend, Miel Maguigad, posted one of her salad dinners on Facebook a few days ago. She called it “TapSaLog” or tapa (beef strips), salad, and itlog (egg).
She must have known her foodie friends would most likely ask her for the recipe that she posted the ingredients along with the photo, and boy! Am I glad she did. She hit me right in the heart with two words — toasted garlic!
Here’s how Miel’s TapSaLog looks like:
I don’t normally feature my friends’ food photos on my blog without a very good reason. You see, mine turned out to be really good. It was filling, too!
But my beef look so much different fromΒ Miel’s. Mine’s overdone a bit. I don’t know if it’s the beef or if it’s because I had to use our butane stove. We ran out of gasul and the delivery guy says it’ll take till Tuesday to deliver the new one.
What’s this woman got to do, right?
Anyway, here’s mine:
However way you want to cook your beef, here are the things that you need:
Ingredients:
Beef strips (Marinated)
Iceberg lettuce (chopped roughly)
1 whole garlic (minced)
2-3 eggs (boiled and sliced into small pieces) According to MasterChef, the cooking time for boiled eggs is 9 minutes)
Marinade:
Red wine vinegar
Braggs liquid aminos
Coconut-based cooking oil (All my health-loving friends say that coconut oil is the safest, healthiest cooking oil)
How to prepare:
1. Prepare the pan and heat the oil.
2. Toast the garlic on the oil, careful not to burn it. Set aside.
3. Fry the beef strips. Set aside.
4. Arrange the lettuce on the plate.
5. Add the beef strips on top of the bed of lettuce.
6. Add the eggs.
7. Sprinkle with toasted garlic.
I’m a typical Filipino who eats rice for most meals, but my palate didn’t seek rice with this one. It was delicious and very satisfying.
Plus, it needsΒ very little sodium, so it’s pretty healthy.
Yes, even with beef overdone.

Yay healthy dish. I love that it’s low in sodium. We are actually adjusting our family meal and is trying to use less sodium too. Alam mo na, hindi na bumabata ang parents ko plus kami. This is great. Bookmarked it actually already for my husband.

TapSaLog is catchy and I see why a lot of your friend’s friends asked about it. Your version looks alright – filling & enticing. I’m thinking of putting tons of garlic in my TapSaLog π
May De Jesus-Palacpac
Toasted garlic is heaven, hehe! π
Maricel
Another recipe to try. π
TweenselMom
I like beef but we seldom eat beef at home. It’s because it’s so tough to chew when you don’t cook it properly. Maybe when you cook it as strips, it will be easier to eat and more flavorful π
May De Jesus-Palacpac
That’s true! I toasted the beef a little, albeit, unintentionally. We enjoyed it, still, but I still want to make it like my friend’s.
Kylie
I’m not really into salad… But I do eat it once in a while..

May De Jesus-Palacpac
Thanks. It’s actually very filling and satisfying, so even if you’re not on a diet, it’s still pretty good. π
Phenomenal Mama
Winner! I like that its so easy and with such few ingredients.
May De Jesus-Palacpac
I know, right? It was easy, but you really need to be careful about the beef.:)
Tiffany Yong W.T. (tiffanyyongwt)
Awww… I don’t take beef! maybe I will replace the beef with chicken? Not sure if it will taste the same though~
May De Jesus-Palacpac
Yes, chicken would taste like chicken, but it can replace the beef. π

May De Jesus-Palacpac
Chicken would be good. π
Pam / Hey, Miss Adventures!
I really have to keep track of recipe posts like this. I’m pretty sure it will be useful once we move out of the house and be on our own.
Until then…I think I’ll just daydream of making these myself. Hahaha.

Your version looks appetizing as well! Truth be told I would always favor tapa and itlog with fried rice. It’s one of the comfort food that I can’t say no to.
May De Jesus-Palacpac
Oh, I’m a huge rice-eater, too. It was such a pleasant surprise that I didn’t crave for rice when I had this. Try it. π
edel
A less-sinful version of tapsilog … i’ll just imagine the garlicky fried rice π
Janice
You had me at “beef”. Hahaha! I’m a certified beef lover so you can be sure I’ll try out this recipe. π
