Filipino-Style Beef Steak (Bistek)

Ingredients You’ll Need

Gather these ingredients to whip up your delicious Bistek:

  • 1 pound of beef sirloin, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup calamansi juice (or lemon juice)
  • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions to Make It Happen

Alright, let’s get cooking! Follow these steps, and you’ll have a plate of Bistek ready in no time:

  1. First up, marinate the beef: In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, calamansi juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss in the sliced beef and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the better!
  2. After your beef is all soaked up with flavor, heat up the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Throw in the onions and sauté them until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
  3. Next, take the beef slices out of the marinade (but save the marinade for later) and add them to the skillet. Cook the beef until it’s browned on all sides.
  4. Now, pour in the reserved marinade and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This is where all those flavors come together, making the beef tender and juicy.
  5. Once done, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve it up hot over a bed of steamed rice or with some fresh veggies on the side.

And there you have it, folks! A hearty, home-cooked meal that’s sure to impress everyone at the table. So gather your loved ones and dig in!
