Bistek Tagalog (Filipino Beef Steak)

A Filipino dish with beef shaved steak marinated in soy sauce and fresh lime juice (substituting for calamansi juice), cooked with red onions. Best served with steamed rice.
Ingredients:
  • 1 package of Old Neighborhood Beef Shaved Steak
  • 4 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 1 large red onion, sliced in rings
  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/3 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • Chives, for garnish
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • water (optional)
Instructions:
  1. In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, and sugar until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Marinate with the beef shaved steak for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium high on the stove. Add 2 tbsp. of oil to the heated skillet.
  4. Add the garlic and half of the red onion rings. Cook for about 2 minutes.
  5. Add the marinated beef shaved steak and the marinade to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the remaining red onion rings. Cook for 1 minute more.
  7. Give it a little taste. If it is too salty for you, you can add a bit of water. For reference, I added about 2 tbsp. of water and cooked for another minute.
  8. Remove from heat.
  9. Garnish with chives, and serve hot with steamed rice.
