Beef Ribs Adobo sa Gata Recipe

Heat oil in a wok or frying pan. Sear beef ribs in batches.

Place all beef pieces back into the pan. Add remaining ingredients except coconut cream and salt.

Bring to a boil then reduce heat to simmer. Cook, covered, for 11/2 to 2 hours or until beef is fork-tender. Remove excess fat that rises to the top.

Add coconut cream and simmer for 20 minutes. Adjust seasoning, adding salt if necessary. Remove star anise and bay leaves.

Top with cilantro and fried shallots or garlic, and serve hot with steamed rice.
