Cooking a beef steak in the style of “Panlasang Pinoy” (a popular term used to denote Filipino flavors) involves incorporating typical Filipino seasonings and techniques to achieve a savory, tender, and delicious meal. Here’s how you can prepare a beef steak Filipino-style, also known as “Bistek Tagalog.”
Ingredients Needed:
1-2 pounds of beef steak (sirloin, tenderloin, or round steak are good choices)
1/2 cup of soy sauce (preferably a Filipino brand for authenticity)
Juice of 2-3 calamansi (or substitute with lemon or lime if calamansi is not available)
1-2 large onions, sliced into rings
4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
Ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
1/2 cup of water
Optional: a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors
Instructions:
Marinate the Beef:
In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, calamansi juice, and a generous amount of ground black pepper.
Place the beef steaks in the marinade and let them soak for at least 1 hour, or overnight in the refrigerator for better absorption of flavors.
Prepare the Ingredients:
Slice the onions into rings, and mince the garlic.
Cook the Garlic and Onions:
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Sauté the garlic until golden brown, then remove and set aside.
In the same pan, add the onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized. Remove and set aside with the garlic.
Sear the Beef:
Remove the steaks from the marinade (keep the marinade) and pat them dry.
Heat the remaining oil in the pan over high heat. Once hot, add the steaks. Sear each side for about 2-3 minutes for medium-rare, or longer depending on the thickness of the steaks and your desired doneness.
Simmer with Marinade:
Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the reserved marinade and water into the pan with the beef.
Let it simmer for a few minutes, then add the sautéed garlic and onions back into the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has slightly thickened.
Adjust Seasonings:
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If it’s too salty, you can add a little water or a pinch of sugar to balance the flavors.
Serve:
Serve the beef steak hot, topped with the onions and a drizzle of the sauce from the pan.
This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, which complements the savory flavors of the bistek.
