Beef Tapa Business – TAPSILOG

Starting a beef tapa business is a good business venture to start especially for work at home moms. You can easily make beef tapa at home and sell it to your neighbors and friends thus making an extra income for the family. You can also cook it as TAPSILOG, lunch pack, sandwiches and sell it to offices, students, call center agents and regular tapsilog lovers. The potential to make a good profit from beef tapa business is, therefore, great.

Generally, tapa is made by drying or curing venison (deer meat) although other meats like pork, chicken and fish can also be used. Tapa is best when it is fried or grilled served with fried rice, fried egg and atchara (pickled papaya strips)- a meal called TAPSILOG.

Tapsilog is the term used when tapa, egg, fried rice (sinangag) are combined in one meal which is served primarily during breakfast.

In preparing tapa nowadays, meat is not dried anymore but fibers and other organic matters are added in the extenders to make the meat juicier. Serving portions will be more or less 16 servings per kilogram of meat. If tapsilog is sold at Php30.00 – Php40.00 per kilogram the gross sale is Php480.00. Net Profit is Php240.00 considering that 50% of the sales is allocated for the rice, egg, atchara and other ingredients for cooking.
