Filipino Beef Steak

Another famous dish in the Philippines is called "Bistek", meaning Beef Steak. As usual different region has different ways to prepare it. The common ingredients are beef, calamsi juice, onion, and soy sauce. Since I only have lime, I used lime instead of calamsi. Here it is:

1/2 kilo beef

1 white onion, sliced into rings

2 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 cup water

soy sauce

bay leaf

Cut beef across the grain into 2-inch portions.

Put water, soy sauce and bay leaf in a saucepan.

Cook beef in this mixture over medium heat.

When the meat is slightly tender, pour in lime juice. Simmer.

Add onion rings before removing from heat.

Since I don't have any vegetables that day,

I got  fresh tomato for side dish.

OK, here it is! Let's eat!

My hubby cooked this one, he marinated the beef

with soy sauce and calamansi juice over night.
