Flagged this from recipezaar.com and modified some of the ingredients. I still have to try this this weekend though.

The Smoke food place in D'Mall, Boracay, served tofu salpicao, tofu steak, and tofu teriyaki. I only got to try the salpicao and it was awesome.

Butter, I believe, is the key ingredient in making salpicao.

The one from Smoke had sliced button mushrooms in it so feel free to add it if you're going to follow this recipe.

Cheers.
