Bistek Tagalog

Filipino Beef Steak.

This is my mom's recipe. Compared to traditional bistek tagalog, this version yields more sauce, which is great with rice, and has no onions since my mom can't eat onions anymore.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Sirloin Beef
  • 7 cloves of Garlic
  • 1 Lemon
  • 1 Calimansi
  • Oil (Neutral)
  • Water
  • Soy Sauce
  • Pepper
  • (Optional) Onions

Tools

  • Marinade bowl
  • Pan

Steps

Marinade

  1. Cut beef into thin slices and add to bowl
  2. Juice lemon into bowl
  3. Add 1 tbsp soy sauce and add to bowl
  4. Slice 3 cloves of garlic and add to bowl
  5. Mix well and cover
  6. Let rest in fridge for a few hours (overnight is best)

Cook

  1. Roughly chop 4 cloves of garlic
  2. (Optional) Slice onions into rings
  3. In pan, add oil and heat garlic (and optionally add half of the onion rings) until slightly brown to infuse the oil with flavor.
  4. Add meat only and stir fry until brown
  5. Add marinade and calimansi
  6. Add water and simmer for about 10 minutes. Amount of water depends on how much sauce you want.
  7. Season to taste.
  8. (Optional) Garnish with remaining onion rings

Additional Notes

  • Traditional bistek tagalog doesn't have much sauce at the end and adds rings of onion during cooking and/or as a garnish
