Steps:
- Make the adobo:
- Heat a comal, griddle, or heavy skillet over medium-low heat, and toast the chiles 2 or 3 at a time, turning them over and pressing down on them with tongs frequently, until the chiles are fragrant, about 1 minute per batch. Soak the chiles in enough cold water to cover until they're soft, about 30 minutes. Drain and discard the soaking water.
- Put the vinegar and beer in the blender jar with the chiles and the remaining adobo ingredients. Blend until smooth, at least 3 minutes, adding a little water if necessary to puree. If you like a silky, smooth texture, strain the adobo through a medium-mesh sieve. Set aside 1/2 cup of the adobo to marinate the steak, and keep the rest in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days or in the freezer for up to one month.
- Make the steak:
- Pat the steaks dry, season them with the salt, then coat them generously with adobo. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours.
- Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill or grill pan and cook the steaks, 3 to 5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, depending on their thickness. Let the steaks rest for 5 minutes before slicing for tacos or serving as whole steaks.
FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION
For about 20 years this recipe was just a lovely memory. When DH was in grad school one of his professors invited the entire class and their families to enjoy a Filipino meal prepared by his wife, Priscilla. She fed about 50 of us seated on the floor in front of long rolls of paper! 20 years later, that professor is no longer at this school but my husband and his son-in-law now teach here. Rachel, Priscilla's daughter, shared her Mom's recipe with me. She has added slow cooker instructions to fit her busy lifestyle but it is still the same great flavor that her mom prepared for us over 20 years ago. Thanks Priscilla and Rachel!! **NOTES** - Cooking time 2 hours stove or 6 hours slow cooker. - Slow Cookers vary in cooking times - adjust according to your appliance. - Freezer instructions courtesy of Erindipity.

COCONUT MILK CHICKEN ADOBO
When I left home, adobo was a dish I could cook off the top of my head. The name was bestowed by Spanish colonizers, referring to the use of vinegar and seasonings to preserve meat, but the stew existed long before their arrival. It is always made with vinegar, and often soy sauce, but there are as many adobo recipes as there are Filipino cooks. In this version, coconut - present in three forms: milk, oil and vinegar - brings silkiness and a hint of elegance. Every ingredient announces itself; none are shy. The braised whole peppercorns pop in your mouth.

PORK BELLY ADOBO
I am a first-generation Filipino American. My mother and father both worked long hours while I was growing up. No matter how tired my mother was, she made sure our family was taken care of. Some of the things on her daily checklist were making sure that our homework was done, I had our house key on a shoelace around my neck and we had lunch money in our pockets. She also made sure there would always be food waiting for us when we got home. One of our favorite things was this pork adobo. She would make it the night before and it would develop more flavor as it sat overnight in the refrigerator. As simple as this recipe is, it always projected the love she put into it. - Richmond Flores, Food Stylist

Steps:
- Combine the soy sauce, garlic, sugar and peppercorns in a large bowl. Add the pork and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight, covered (can be marinated in a resealable 1-gallon freezer bag). Mix twice at regular intervals to marinate thoroughly.
- Drain the pork in a colander over a bowl; reserve the marinade and garlic. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the pork in batches, making sure not to crowd the meat and turning often until all sides are brown, 6 to 8 minutes per batch (the peppercorns may adhere to the pork, which is fine). Watch closely: The sugar in the marinade will cause the pork to darken quickly if the pot is too hot-lower the heat if necessary to avoid burning. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon; set aside.
- Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the oil from the Dutch oven. Add the garlic from the marinade and the onions, and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add back the pork, the strained marinade, 1 cup water and the bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, cover and cook at a medium boil, stirring periodically, until the pork is tender but not falling apart, about 1 hour 25 minutes.
- Add the vinegar, but do not stir. Cook, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced to the consistency of a loose marinara, about 20 minutes more. Remove from the heat, and skim and discard fat (pork belly will render a good amount). Allow the pork and sauce to sit 15 minutes before serving; the sauce will continue to thicken. Serve over jasmine rice.

to Adobo Recipes
Adobo is a popular Filipino dish loved by many around the world. Although there are different variations of adobo recipes across the Philippines, the basic ingredients of this dish usually include vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves. In adobo recipes, these ingredients are used to cook meat or vegetables in a savory, tangy, and slightly sweet sauce that's packed with flavor. Through this dish, we see a cultural representation of the Filipino cuisine.1. A Brief History of Adobo Recipes in the Philippines
Adobo has a long, rich history that dates back to the Spanish colonization of the Philippines. It’s believed that the word “adobo” originated from the Spanish word “adobar”, which means to marinate, season, or preserve food. The Spanish introduced the method of cooking in vinegar and soy sauce as a way of preserving meat without refrigeration. Over time, the Filipinos adapted this method and eventually incorporated their unique blend of spices, resulting in the adobo recipe we know and love today.2. The Types of Meat Used for Adobo Recipes
Chicken and pork are the most commonly used meats in adobo recipes. Chicken adobo is a popular dish that's easy to cook and perfect for busy weeknights. Pork adobo, on the other hand, is a classic Filipino dish that's commonly served during special occasions and family gatherings. Other meats like beef and even seafood such as squid and fish can also be cooked in adobo sauce.3. The Different Variations of Adobo Recipes
As mentioned earlier, there are different variations of adobo recipes across the Philippines. Some recipes use coconut milk or sugar to make the sauce sweeter, while others use different types of vinegar such as cane vinegar or coconut vinegar for a milder or tangier flavor. Vegetables such as eggplant, kangkong, and okra can also be added to the sauce for a vegetarian-friendly version of the dish.4. The Health Benefits of Adobo Recipes
Adobo recipes, when prepared using lean meats, can be a healthy and satisfying meal option. Chicken and pork are good sources of protein, while the vinegar used in the sauce has been shown to aid in digestion and lower blood sugar levels. Additionally, the garlic used in adobo is an excellent source of micronutrients and has anti-inflammatory properties.5. Serving Adobo Recipes
Adobo is best served with a hot bowl of steamed rice, which helps tame the strong flavors of the sauce. Some people prefer to eat the sauce and meat together, while others like to let the meat marinate in the sauce for a few hours or overnight before cooking to allow the flavors to meld together.Conclusion
Adobo recipes are a cultural staple of the Filipino cuisine, representing the blending of Spanish and indigenous culinary traditions. The sour, savory, and slightly sweet flavor profile of adobo sauce is what makes the dish stand out. Whether you’re a beginner cook or a seasoned one, making adobo is simple, delicious and worth trying out.Adobo is one of the most popular dishes in the Philippines. It is a savory and tangy dish that is made by marinating meat in vinegar and soy sauce, and then cooking it with garlic, pepper, and bay leaves. Adobo can be made with chicken, pork, beef, or even vegetables. It is a dish that is versatile, easy to make, and absolutely delicious.
Tips for Making Adobo
1. Use the right cut of meat
The cut of meat that you use for your adobo recipe will determine the flavor and texture of the dish. Pork belly, chicken thighs, and beef chuck are popular cuts of meat that are commonly used for adobo. These cuts have a good combination of meat and fat, which makes them perfect for slow-cooking. The fat in the meat also adds flavor and richness to the dish.
2. Marinate the meat overnight
Marinating the meat overnight is essential for adobo. The vinegar and soy sauce mixture will penetrate the meat and infuse it with flavor. The longer you marinate the meat, the more flavorful it will be. You can also add spices and herbs to the marinade to enhance the flavor even further.
3. Don’t skimp on the garlic
Garlic is an essential ingredient in adobo. It adds a pungent and savory flavor to the dish. Don’t skimp on the garlic, use plenty of it. You can either chop the garlic or crush it for a more intense flavor. The garlic will also help to tenderize the meat and add a subtle sweetness to the dish.
4. Use real soy sauce and vinegar
The quality of soy sauce and vinegar that you use in your adobo recipe will affect the flavor of the dish. It’s important to use real soy sauce and vinegar, not the cheap varieties that are readily available in grocery stores. Real soy sauce and vinegar will have a deeper and more complex flavor that will enhance the taste of the dish.
5. Experiment with different flavors
While traditional adobo is made with vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic, you can experiment with different flavors and ingredients to create your own unique version of the dish. You can add sugar or honey for a touch of sweetness, or use coconut milk for a creamy and milder version of the dish. You can also add spices like cumin or turmeric for a different twist on the flavor profile of the dish.
6. Use the right cooking method
The traditional way of cooking adobo is to simmer it on the stove for a long time. However, you can also cook it in a slow cooker or pressure cooker for a faster and more convenient cooking method. The slow cooker will allow the flavors to develop over time, while the pressure cooker will cook the dish quickly without sacrificing the flavor.
7. Let the dish rest before serving
After cooking the adobo, it’s important to let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and become more intense. You can also refrigerate the adobo overnight and reheat it the next day for even more flavor.
8. Serve with rice
Adobo is traditionally served with rice. The rice will soak up the sauce and add a texture contrast to the dish. You can also serve adobo with vegetables or a side salad for a balanced meal.
Conclusion
Making adobo is a simple process that can yield delicious results. With these tips, you can create your own unique version of this classic dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different flavors and cooking methods to find the perfect adobo recipe for you.
