Dinengdeng with Beef Soured with Tamarind Recipe

The bamboo shoots I used is pre-shredded and parboiled that should be available in the vegetable section of most Metro Manila supermarkets and of course from wet markets. Remember these are already parboiled but to be really sure that it is properly cooked I boiled it again for about 3 to 5 minutes then discard the initial water. Then add fresh water this time I boiled it again for about 20 to 30 minutes more.
