🇵🇭 Philippines recipe
Bistek Tagalog
Bistek Tagalog is the Filipino interpretation of beefsteak, and it bears little resemblance to its Western counterpart. Thin slices of beef are marinated in a bold mixture of soy sauce and calamansi juice, then pan-fried until caramelized and topped with sweet, golden onion rings. The dish is a masterclass in the Filipino love for contrasts: the salty-sour marinade against the sweetness of the onions, served over steaming white rice that soaks up every drop of sauce.
