Easy & Delicious Filipino Beef Steak Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 pounds New York strip steak, sliced thin
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon white sugar
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 0.25 cup vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced beef. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Pour this mixture over the beef, ensuring it's well coated. Mix in the cornstarch. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, for enhanced flavor.
2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Take the beef slices out of the marinade, shaking off any extra liquid to ensure proper searing. Discard the used marinade.
4. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, fry the beef slices in the hot oil for about 2 to 4 minutes on each side, until they are firm, reddish-pink, and still juicy inside. Transfer the cooked beef to a serving platter.
5. In a separate small skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion turns a rich golden brown color, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon this flavorful onion and garlic mixture generously over the beef slices and serve immediately.
