Bistek

posted by admin in Uncategorized

Bistek is a Philippine dish typically made with strips of sirloin beef slowly cooked in soy sauce, and calamansi juice. It is best prepared by marinating the meat first in the mixture of soy sauce or calamansi juice. The meat is then browned in vegetable oil (usually coconut oil) and the marinade added back in when the meat has seared. Onion rings are optionally added near the end as a garnish. A good bistek is one which does not taste too sour or salty.

Chunks of browned potatoes, also fried in oil, are sometimes added, but they are optional. Bistek is not always made with sirloin beef steaks (as its original English form beef steak would suggest); pork chops and liver, or even fish fillets, can be used as a substitute.
