My famiy loves this dish. Even my picky American wife likes it and definitely a favorite among Filipinos. It is somewhat pricey for most families to serve on their table all the time, but it sure is a treat when they do.

Ingredients
  • 2 Lbs. Round Roast (lean beef)
  • 1 Large red onion
  • 1 Cup of soy sauce
  • 1 Cup of water
  • 7 Packets of frozen calamansi or fresh ones
  • ½ Tbs. MSG
  • Corn oil for frying

Directions
  1. In a large bowl marinate beef in soy sauce, water, calamansi, and msg for an hour. Heat frying pan and add 2 Tbs. of corn oil and fry meat in batches until they all have good sear marks on both sides. Remove meat from the pan and set aside. Repeat the process for the next batch. You will need to add more oil each time you fry more batches of meat. When you are done frying, add all the meat back into the frying pan and add the remaining marinade to the pan. Let it simmer for 5 minutes on medium heat and then add the onions and let cook for another minute. Serve with rice and enjoy your Bistek!

The calamansi you speak of... it is a type of lime, right? Can I use a regular lime? If so how much... 7 limes? The roast do you cut it in strips? I really want to try this!


The best substitute is lemon. for the measurement given above about two lemon should be enough.The beef is slice thinly like roast beef, no more than 1/8 of an inch thick. visit my site for more info.

Just went to your site. Love it! I have book marked it for future reference. I moved from Hawaii years ago. My grandparents lived in Ewa on the Plantation and I spent a lot of time there. Thank goodness I still know some of the recipes but now I can cook more of my favorites.


This looks delicious! I have to try it myself.


I miss bistek! This is a very easy to make recipe! I'll definitely try this! (^_^)
