Beef Steak (Bistek)

I am not going to grill my steak. What I prepared for dinner is the famous Filipino dish “Bistek”. It is just easy to prepare and cook. You need to marinate the thin sliced beef first before you fry it. I bought my beef meat in a nearby store. They charge Rs 60.00 for ½ kilo which is of course a lot cheaper in price than the beef price in the Philippines.
Beef is rich in protein and other nutrients. Some don’t like the taste of it, but ever since childhood, we have already tasted the goodness of the beef meat as what my mom and grandmother prepares it. Anyway here is the instruction on how to cook and prepare Beef steak (Bistek):

Another delicious dinner, Beef steak or Bistek anyone?



Step 1: Marinate the beef first by putting all the ingredients together. Let it marinate for 30 minutes or an hour for the meat to sip the ingredients.

Step 2: Heat up a pan and put oil. Fry the beef pieces and make sure it is tender before putting the flame off. Take note that beef steak are not meant to be boiled first before you marinate. The reason why is that you buy only the portion of the meat which is good for steak and sliced the beef meat thinly.

You can pair this dish with any green salads and mushroom soup. What I just have was the jeera aloo on the side plus sliced tomatoes.
