Easter is here! That means Lent is officially over, and I am reunited with the love of my life… MEAT. It feels so good! To celebrate my 46 days without beef, pork, or whiskey, I prepared my favorite meal ever: Nilagang Baka (also known as Nilaga). It is really simple to make and SO DELICIOUS. Please see mouth-watering photos below. Short ribs, I’ve missed you!

Beautifully fatty bone-in beef short ribs and bone marrow bones from Whole Foods

Everything is in the pot and ready to go

Fish sauce is the key to making the soup taste like heaven!

Cabbage adds a slight touch of sweetness

And here it is… my favorite meal in the whole world

White rice of the side is a must!
