Beef Steak Bistek Tagalog Recipe
Description
Bistek tagalog, or Beef Steak, is a Filipino dish made with thinly sliced beef, onions, and a delicious sauce. The beef is marinated in soy sauce with lemon or calamansi, then simmered gently in its own sauce, adding water until the beef is tender. It's finest served with warm rice. Unlike traditional beefsteak, which can be cooked to various degrees of doneness, Filipino bistek is always cooked to perfection.
