Beef Mechado in 3 different sizes , (Small, Medium and Large Party Trays).
Beef Mechado, also called Mechadong Baka, is one of the popular tomato sauce-based dish in the tradition of Philippine cuisine. Other Filipino tomato sauce-based dishes are Menudo, Afritada, Caldereta and Pochero. Aside from their differences in the manners of cooking and ingredients, by general comparison: Afritada, by tradition, is a 'chicken' stewed in tomato sauce; Caldereta, originally, is a 'goat' stew in tomato sauce; Menudo is 'pork' stewed in tomato sauce; and Pochero is a stewed 'beef' in tomato sauce with variety of ingredients including banana, string beans, and leafy vegetables. Mechado, originated from the Spanish word "mecha" meaning wick, is a beef stew in tomato sauce with strips of pork's back-fat threaded in the beef's meat. To better understand Mechado is to immediately visualize a candle in your mind. The thread, a thin long strand of fiber, in the middle of the candle is the "mecha" or "wick" which represent the strips of pork's fat and the wax of the candle represents the lean meat of the beef.
