Bistek Filipino Beef Steak Recipes

Bistek Ingredients

3/4 lb tenderized beef cube steak
juice of 1/2 lemon
1 yellow onion, sliced
2 tbsp cup soy sauce
ground pepper
1/2 tsp cornstarch dissolved in 1/2 cup water
1 yellow onion (or half if you’re skipping the optional sprouts)
olive oil
optional: 2 handfuls of bean sprouts

Cooking Food Procedure

*In medium heat, dry the onion slices in a tablespoon of oil until it becomes translucent but still holds it shape, and remove from the pan into a separate bowl.
*Cook the beef in the remaining oil. Drizzle lemon juice. Add pepper and kosher salt. About 5-7 minutes depending on the cut and thickness of the meat you have. [It cooks pretty fast if you have tenderized steak.]
*Add soy sauce. Allow to boil for 2 minutes.
*Pour the cornstarch dissolved in water and wait for it to simmer and thicken.
*Toss a third of the onions fried earlier and mix for another couple of minutes before taking off the heat.
*Plate in a dish with top with fried onions for garnish.
