Tapa is dried or cured beef mutton or venison although other meat or even fish may be used. Filipinos prepare thin slices of meat and cure it with salt and spices as a method of preserving it. Tapa is often cooked fried or grilled. When served with fried rice and fried egg it is known as tapsilog. It sometimes comes with atchara (pickled papaya strips) or sliced tomatoes as side dish. Vinegar or ketsup is usually used as a condiment.
