Hello Steemit 👋
How was your weekend?
I was not feeling well after my hiking last Saturday but the beautiful wild flowers that I brought home made it worthy and yesterday, I cooked one of my favorite filipino dishes which I always crave every time I'm not well. It's my comfort food.
Bistek Tagalog
Bistek is a Filipino style/ version of beaf steak.
Cooking bistek is just easy peasy. Just have all the ingredients add cook with love and you have a deliciously cooked beef steak.
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 40 minutes
Serving: 3-4 persons
Ingredients
1/2 lb. beef sirloin, sliced thinly
1 lemon (or 4pcs. of lime), juiced
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 large onion, peeled and sliced into rings
4 cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
1 tablespoon pepper
3 tablespoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 medium size potatoes, sliced
Salt to taste
Marinate overnight
In a bowl, marinate the beef in soy sauce, lemon or lime, freshly ground black pepper, garlic and sugar. Cover and refregirate overnight for a tastier and the best bistek (for me) but 30 minutes will do.
Cooking Time
- After overnight or 30 minutes of marination, remove the beef from the fridge for room temperature.
- Heat the frying pan and add the cooking oil.
- Sauté potatoes till golden brown on both side. Remove and set aside.
- Using the same pan, add the beef and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Pour remaining marinade to the pan, add 1/2 cup of water and simmer in medium heat for few minutes or till thickens.
- Once sauce starts to thicken, add the browned beef, stir and simmer for few minutes.
- Add the sautéed potatoes and cover.
- Add the onions. Cover and turn off the heat.
Ahh... that delicious aroma.. Foodgasm!
Finally remove from the heat.
Serve with hot rice and enJOY!
