BEEF LEG a la PICADILLO

Picadillo in the Philippines is a soup with small pieces of beef. My mother made her with potato cubes; my mother-in-law’s version has chayote. My version has carrot, potato and chayote cubes. How that happened is related in one of the earliest entries in this blog where you will also find an explanation as to why I call the dish “a la picadillo”.
Dont confuse Filipino-style picadillo with the Mexican and Cuban picadillo which is a ground beef stew. The Philippine version of the Cuban picadillo is arroz a la Cubana!
