This eggplant steak recipe, or talong steak, is prepared just like the Filipino classic bistek. Instead of meat, we used eggplant as a substitute for the meat, which is made more quickly and easily than meat. Since meaty proteins are getting more expensive, we are continuously looking for cheaper but healthier alternatives. Eggplant is the best substitute for it. It is rich in many nutrients and has a good taste like meat.
If you're on a diet, try this eggplant steak or talong steak recipe. This is a low-calorie, low-cost alternative to the original beef bistek Tagalog. If you're looking for a Filipino meatless dish, I believe this recipe is the best meat substitute for you. However, because its main ingredient is eggplant, it will not taste as wonderful as the beef bistek. But the taste goes well and I think when you try this you will love it.
