This recipe pulls heavily from the Filipinx dinner time staple known as 'Giniling.' We've included many of the flavours in this stew. Traditionally served with steamed rice, this carb smart version opts instead to skip the starch in favour of doubling up on protein with the addition of jammy boiled eggs. Carb Smart (50 g carbohydrates or less) is based on a per serving calculation of the recipe's carbohydrate amount. Ingredients: Ground beef • Russet potato • Mirepoix (carrot, onion, celery) • Grade A egg • Tomato sauce (water, tomato paste, modified corn starch, soybean oil, phosphoric acid, xanthan gum, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate) • Green peas • Crispy shallots (onion, palm oil, wheat flour, salt) (wheat) • Beef broth concentrate (beef stock, sugars (maltodextrin, sugar), beef flavor (flavoring, water, salt, dried beef stock, beef stock, yeast extract, xanthan gum, glutamic acid, tricalcium phosphate), beef fat, salt, yeast extract, xanthan gum) • Fish sauce (water, rice vinegar, salt, sugar, fish sauce powder (anchovies, maltodextrin), lime juice from concentrate, anchovies, disodium inosinate and guanylate, seasoning, yeast extract, xanthan gum, lactic acid, caramel, potassium sorbate, sodium benzoate) (anchovies) • Cream sauce spice blend (wheat flour, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, canola oil, silicon dioxide) (wheat) • Soy sauce (water, wheat, soybeans, salt, hydrolyzed soya protein, sugars (sugar, glucose solids, molasses, corn syrup solids), seasoning agents, caramel colour, licorice extract, modified cornstarch, citric acid, sodium benzoate, sodium propionate, potassium sorbate, alcohol) (soy, sulphites, wheat).

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Cook eggs and start stew
1
  • Using a spoon, lower eggs into the boiling water, then reduce heat to medium-high.
  • Cook for 7 min for a runny yolk or 9 min for a set yolk.**
  • When eggs are done, drain and rinse under cold water for 30 sec, until cool enough to peel. Set aside, still submerged in water.
Finish prep and start stew
2
  • Meanwhile, heat a large pot over medium-high.
  • While the pot heats, peel, then cut potato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • When the pot is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef and mirepoix.
  • Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
Finish stew
3
  • Add potatoes, Cream Sauce Spice Blend, beef broth concentrate, peas, tomato sauce base, fish sauce, soy sauce, 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar and 1 3/4 cups (3 1/2 cups) water. Stir to combine.
  • Bring to a boil over high, then reduce heat to medium.
  • Cover and cook for 8-12 min, stirring occasionally until potatoes are tender. (TIP: If you prefer a thicker stew, simmer without a lid for a few extra minutes. If you prefer a thinner stew, add additional water 1/4 cup at a time.)
Peel eggs
4
  • When stew is almost done, peel then halve eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
Finish and serve
5
  • Season stew with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide stew between bowls.
  • Top with eggs.
  • Sprinkle crispy shallots over top.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the dish's hearty and flavorful profile, though some found it overly salty; consider reducing the broth concentrate for a milder taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and simple to prepare, though some noted the actual cook time was longer than stated, especially for fully cooking the potatoes.
  • Suggestions: For a thicker consistency, simmer uncovered or add tomato paste and a flour-water blend; serve with rice for a more satisfying meal.
  • Leftovers: The stew keeps well and tastes even better the next day, making it great for meal prep.
  • Eggs: The jammy eggs were a surprising hit for many, adding a unique touch to the stew; consider adjusting boiling time for desired consistency.
