A delicious beef steak dish that doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and with very little preparation, as well.
Bistek Tagalog, a specialty of the Tagalog region, is typically topped with onions and the strips of sirloin beef slowly cooked in soy sauce and vinegar. It is known in the Spanish-speaking world as bistec encebollado or bistec tagalo. It is usually Anglicized in Philippine English as “beefsteak.”

Ingredients:
- 1 Lb. beef sirloin, thinly sliced

Recipe Preparation:
- Heat the cooking oil in a pan, then add-in the garlic and sauté for a few minutes. Add-in the onion rings until the texture becomes soft.

- In a separate pan, fry the beef until color turns brown (Just about 2-3 minutes for each side, for a medium-rare texture). Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
