FILIPINO BEEF STEAK OR BISTEK
I am posting this here so I don't lose it! This is the first time I got this right - at least the way my MIL and her family makes it. (Note the measurements are still altered by taste: too sour, more soysauce; too salty, more calamansi juice). If you don't have calamansi (a native small lemon that's sweet and sour at the same time), you can try using meyer lemons. Typically my inlaws use london broil, but you can use any cut. One of the methods used to tenderize the tough cut (yet cheap) cut of meat is to pound it. Another hint on handling the meat: Before you slice it, stick it in the freezer for 15-20 minutes so that it is easier to slice thinly.

Steps:
- In a nonreactive bowl (non-metal), mix kalamansi juice, soy sauce, and garlic. Taste it, if it's too sour, add soy sauce; if it's too salty, add more juice. Balance out the flavors. Remember you can also adjust near the end of cooking the beef.
- Cut up the beef into about 1/4" strips. Pound it with a meat tenderizer (optional).
- Season the meat with gound pepper. Add meat to soy sauce mixture and stir to let it soak up the marinade evenly. Let sit in the marinade for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a (non-reactive) skillet. Add one tablespoon of oil. Stir fry the onion rings until translucent and a tiny bit brown on the edges but still with a bit of a crunch. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same pan, heat one tablespoon of oil. Pan-fry the beef working in batches, remove after browning on both sides. When all the beef has been browned, pour the marinade into the skillet and bring to a slow boil and simmer for a few minutes or until cooked through. Adjust the sauce with more soy sauce or juice, or some water, to suit your taste. After adding soy sauce always let it cook a little.
- Slide the beef slices onto a serving plate, arrange the onion rings on top. Make sure to pour all the rest of the cooking liquid on top (this is great on rice).
- The leftovers freeze well.

FILIPINO BREAKFAST STEAK
One thing I really miss about my Filipino ex-boyfriend is the Filipino breakfast steaks him and his family would make. I wish I could call him for the recipe, but we haven't talked in months so I have been searching for the recipe online. I think I finally found it, although I'm not sure it's the same thing since I haven't made it yet. I am posting it here for safekeeping. Prep time and cook time are estimates. I know he used to fry the meat in a wok or frying pan so I'll try making it like that when I finally make it. Good luck if you choose to make it! I have no idea how it will turn out, because I could not find any ratings for the recipe. You may want to try halfing the recipe so if it turns out horrible you wouldn't have wasted as much meat.
