Bistek Beef Steak

Ingredients
1/2 kilo of beef round, sirloin or tenderloin, sliced 1/4-inch thick
4 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 c dark soy sauce
1 tsp minced garlic
2 large onions cut into rings
2 tbsp cooking oil
freshly-ground pepper
 

In a glass mixing bowl, mix kalamansi or lemon juice and soy sauce. Add beef, garlic and ground pepper. Mix well. Let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Heat a heavy skillet. Add oil. Lightly fry the onion rings. Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels. Keep warm.

Reheat oil until smoking. Pan-fry the beef slices in batches, removing them as they brown. When all the beef has been cooked, pour the marinade into the skillet and boil for 1 minute. Arrange beef slices on a plate. Place the onion rings on top. Pour the sauce over the onions and beef. Serve at once.
