Filipino Bistek is one of my favorite dishes. Growing up, my mom cooked this dish a lot.
It's simple and easy to make. My kids don't help me make it but it's one of their favorite dishes.
I love how the lemon juice and soy sauce balance together creating a fresh tangy flavor to the soy sauce. My husband loves this dish as well.. especially the fried red onions.
Ingredients
- 1-1.5 lbs beef steaks, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup of soy sauce
- 1 big red onion sliced in rings
- 1 tablespoon lemon
- Cooking oil, I use olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
- In a pan, saute the red onion rings in cooking oil until translucent. Remove onions from skillet and set aside.
