Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup soy sauce (such as Kikkoman®)
¼ cup lime juice
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
ground black pepper to taste
1 pound beef steak, sliced 1/4-inch thick
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided, or as needed
4 potatoes, cut into wedges
1 large onion, cut into rings
⅛ cup water

Steps:

  • Combine soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, sugar, fish sauce, and pepper in a bowl. Taste and adjust to your liking. Add sliced beef, making sure it is coated evenly. Marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 1 hour.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wok or pan over medium-high heat. Fry potatoes in the hot oil until the edges turn golden brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Heat remaining oil in the same pan over medium-high heat and fry onions until edges turn brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to the same plate.
  • Heat the same pan over medium-high heat. Reserve marinade and fry beef in batches, adding more vegetable oil if necessary, until browned and no longer pink in the centers, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to the plate and continue with remaining beef.
  • Pour the reserved marinade into the pan with water to deglaze, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Taste and adjust seasonings. Return beef back to the pan with some onion, leaving remaining onion for garnish; reduce heat and let simmer until sauce has thickened, 7 to 10 minutes.
  • Slide beef and sauce onto a serving plate. Garnish with remaining onion. Place potatoes on the side and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: For the best results, use a tender cut of beef such as sirloin, tenderloin, or rib eye. These cuts will cook quickly and evenly, and they will be less likely to become tough.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, and other spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can marinate the beef for as little as 30 minutes or for up to overnight.
  • Cook the beef over high heat: Bistek is traditionally cooked over high heat in a wok or skillet. This will help to sear the beef and lock in the juices.
  • Do not overcook the beef: Bistek is best cooked rare or medium-rare. Overcooking the beef will make it tough and chewy.
  • Serve the bistek immediately: Bistek is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that it is hot and juicy.

Conclusion:

Bistek is a delicious and easy-to-make Filipino dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a perfect bistek that will impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give bistek a try!
