Beef Tinaktak
Tinaktak (pronounced tee-nack-tack) may have originated from the sound of chopping meat: tak! tak! tak! It is one of Guam’s favorite comfort foods and definitely a favorite of mine since it is so simple to make yet yields a tasty dish! Serve over hot steamed rice (white or brown).

The name of “stew” can process to both a food and a cooking method. Stewing makes slowly cooking piece of meat, raw fruit or beans in a tastefull liquid . It’s same as to braising, instead it does have a few piece of differences. The meat is chopped into smaller pieces instead of being cooked all of it , and the liquid completely covers the contents in a stew as compared to a braise’s halfway all of it . When meat or raw fruit are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.
Stew has a perception for making a rib-sticking eating process that warms you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew can make warming properties , but stew’s cozy factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the cold . It’s all about those tender chunks of food and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
