Beef with Corn and Mushroom

Beef with Corn and Mushroom is a Filipino dish of stir-fried beef served on a creamy sauce with mushrooms and sweet corn kernels.

I am not sure if this dish is a Filipino dish but there are things for sure that I know about it. Firstly, Filipinos love it and occasionally I see this dish on gatherings and parties. Secondly, I haven’t seen such a similar dish on other cuisines. In my opinion, I think this dish was heavily influenced by the Americans since most of the ingredients are canned. Canned mushrooms, canned corn, canned cream of mushroom and even Worcestershire sauce are popular PX or Commissary items usually sold in American Bases during the late 70’s up to early 90’s. I still remember this dish, as it was quite popular during the 80’s which are also served together with recipes that heavily relied on canned goods like Tuna Casserole, Fruit Salad, Puchero with Pork and Beans and Corned Beef Gisado to name some.

  1. The beef looks very tender and juicy!

    This is very similar to a dish called beef stroganoff (Russian origin) except instead of cream they use sour cream and it doesn’t have corn. Although that little pop of sweetness from the corn would be lovely with the creamy sour sauce. Your recipe sounds like a beautiful weeknight meal.

    i have to say i prefer frozen corn (or fresh) to canned:) but this sounds like a good combo of flavours.

  4. This is a such a fun dish! Has a bit of a retro feel to it. Such a great way to use pantry staples, too. Thanks!

  5. Such a wonderful dish! Love the corn in it!

  6. I’d agree with Eva on that these similar kind of recipes are common in some European countries, not only in Russia (And yes sour cream adds a nice tang.) It’s always exciting how totally different cuisines often have many things in common, right? Absolutely loving this creamy dreamy combination!

  8. Haha – with all those “cans of …” I would definitely “blame” America! But it does sound really good!

    Well…my mother certainly isn’t Filipino but this was one of her easy, go-to dishes when I was a kid. I remember it so well and, from the ingredient list, it was very close to her recipe. It’s SO GOOD and I had totally forgotten about it. So thanks for bringing it back into my memories. BTW – my mother grew up on a farm in north Louisiana, USA, so it’s interesting how similar recipes can be found in totally different cultures.

    What a perfectly comforting dish. We’ve had a long string of rainy days and this sounds like it would really hit the spot.

  11. I’m not familiar with this exact dish, but it certainly seems similar to recipes that I’ve made in the past. It looks like the ultimate comfort food for cold days…which is perfect for you given the seasons right now! Definitely want to keep this in mind for when it gets chilly here again (which is probably like next week. Hah.)

  12. Yes, this dish definitely reminds me of growing up in the 1950s and 1960s! Tuna casserole was a popular dish- combining canned tuna and Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom soup. It was easy to cook then! Now, I never use these ingredients, especially canned tuna- it makes me gag! Your dish does look good, though!
