Bistek (Filipino Beef Steak)

 

Bistek.

I cannot believe I haven't made this before.

Its a Filipino version of Beef steak marinated in Soy sauce and lemon juice cooked with a lot

of Onion! (I love it)

So good with rice, One of my childhood favorites. 

I made sure the boys tried it, I just had to cut it in small pieces.

They are not really a fan of onion but they love the flavor. 

Let me know what you guys think!

Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef Sirloin - sliced thinly and pounded
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup  lemon juice
• 1 small onion - chopped finely
• 2-3 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 big onion - cut into rings
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 teaspoon cornstarch

 Directions

• Place the beef slices in a bowl or container with lid. Add soy sauce, lemon juice, and chopped onions. Mix well. Cover and let it marinate for at least an hour or overnight for better flavor.
• Squeeze the meat with your hands to remove excess marinade from the meat. Transfer meat into a plate. Set the marinade aside for later use.
• Dissolve cornstarch in half cup of water. Set aside.
• Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion rings and cook according to preference. Just until slightly tender or totally caramelized. Remove from oil and set aside.
•  On the same pan, add the beef and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side. Transfer cooked beef slices on a serving plate. Top with cooked onions.
• In the same pan over low heat, pour the soy sauce marinade. Add the cornstarch mixture and bring to a simmer while stirring constantly. Cook until sauce becomes thicker.
• Pour the sauce over the beef and onions. Serve with rice and Enjoy!

So so good.

Enjoy!
