This is on of the more simpler Filipino dishes to make. Its also one of my favorites. There’s a version of this that my aunt makes that uses pork instead of steak that is really good. I will post that later. I like to make this with top sirloin, but it could probably made with like flap steak or top round.
Filipino Beef Steak
Serves 6
2 lbs top sirloin, cut into 1/4″ slices
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup lemon juice
pepper, to taste
2 medium onions, sliced into 1/4″ slices
2 cloves garlic
2 tsp oil
Mix soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, pepper and sliced steak in bowl. Let marinate in refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
Heat oil in 12″ saute pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onions and cook until just getting tender and edges start to brown. Remove from pan onto separate plate.
Fry beef in small batches until cooked and remove them into separate serving bowl. Once all beef is cooked, pour remaining sauce into pan and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Add onions and toss to coat. Cook until onions are soft. Pour over beef. Serve with rice.
