Filipino Beef  Mechado (Slow Cooker) is my recipe  of the  day with  the blogging group Soup Swappers. We group up  once per  month and post on a topic the host chooses.

It was my turn  to host  and since the weather is getting nice and cool in  many  places,   I thought the theme of Comforting  Stews would be  perfect.

I am  reaching back to a  recipe I missed posting earlier- Beef Mechado from  the Phillipines. It’s delicious.

I enjoyed the combination of  beef and vegetables  cooked with soy,  tomato sauce and  other aromatics which  work out perfectly.

You can serve this with a little rice on the side or just  by  itself in a bowl. Either way it is something  the whole family will enjoy. Especially if you have those that  like simpler  American foods and are a little shy  of international  ethnic cuisine.

This  is a good starting point. Kids love it too.
