BEEF KELAGUEN
This is my dad's Kelaguen recipe, from Dededo, Guam. This is no-heat cooking, the meat 'cooks' in the marinade. I serve this over rice.

BEEF KELAGUEN (KELAGUEN KåTNE)
I'm posting this recipe for someone I met at a softball game. When she learned that I am Chamoru and from Guam she told me that she loves Finadene and Beef Kelaguen. I couldn't recall my recipe at the time so I promised to post it here. Beef Kelaguen is a Chamoru delicacy made with raw beef and chemically cooked or cured with citric acid. It is usually served as a chaser with beer or eaten with Chamoru Red Rice. Back home we like this SPICY, but just omit the pepper to make it more friendly for those can't take the heat ;). All measurements are approximate and can be adjusted to taste, tangier or saltier, it's all up to you...Enjoy :)
