Friday Filipino Food: Bistek Tagalog

A new Friday post concept,

That will discuss more about

Filipino Foods and Cuisine
entitled " Friday Filipino Food".

And for today's Filipino Food

Post will be Bistek Tagalog.

Bistek Tagalog is a Filipino version of

The Beef Steak. Normally, Bistek Tagalog's

Concept is to marinade the beef/pork 

in Soy sauce and Kalamansi. Its usual taste

Is a bit sour because of the Kalamansi.

Here is a Simple and Easy way of cooking

Bistek Tagalog from panlasangpinoy.com

5. Pour the marinade and bring to a boil.
6. Put in the fried beef and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until meat is tender. Add water as needed.

Really enjoyed eating Bistek Tagalog with Potato. Because it adds something to the texture on the food I am eating that there is a soft part which are the meats and the onions and a bit hard texture in the potato.

I actually had Bistek Tagalog today for my lunch and I really had a very yummy lunch cooked by my grandma.

Hope you like the Filipino food that I featured today!

Thanks and Have a Great Friday Night!

Love,
