I spent a good portion of this morning researching the background of this beef dish and how it came about in Philippine cuisine. Although I didn't find a definitive history, from what I read, it appears salpicao is a derivative of the Spanish word salpicar<\/em>, which means to spatter, sprinkle, or pepper<\/em>. An appropriate description for the dish as it is heavily dotted with browned garlic bits!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like sizzling gambas<\/a>, this Filipino-style beef stir-fry is said to be of Spanish influence. Solomillo al Ajillo (beef tenderloin in garlic) seems to be the point of inspiration but adapted to our Pinoy taste, such as the use of soy sauce and sugar in making the sauce. And like gambas, it's also popular as an appetizer to accompany ice-cold beer but can easily double as a satisfying main course.<\/p>\n\n\n
