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.

- 1-1.5 lbs beef steaks, thinly sliced
