Pares, also known as beef pares, is a term for a serving of Filipino braised beef stew with garlic fried rice, and a bowl of clear soup. It is a popular food particularly associated with specialty roadside diner-style establishments known as Pares Houses that specialize in serving these type of meals. In recent years, it had also become a common dish served in small eateries called karinderya or carinderia that serve economical meals for local residents.
Informally, Pares can also refer to any dish that is cooked in the manner reminiscent of the "asado-style" (i.e. stewed in a sweet-soy sauce).
