Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds of beef (round, sirloin or tenderloin), sliced 1/4-inch thick and tenderized
- 8 tbsp. of kalamansi (native lemon) juice
- 1/2 c. of dark soy sauce
- freshly-ground pepper
- 3 cloves of minced garlic
- 2 large onions, cut into rings
- 2 tbsp. of cooking oil
- 2 zucchinis, julienned
- water
- sugar
- salt
Preparation
Step 1
1. In a glass mixing bowl, mix kalamansi or lemon juice and soy sauce. NOTE: Make enough marinade to cover meat. Add beef, garlic and ground pepper. Mix well. Let sit in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
2. Heat a heavy skillet. Add oil. Lightly fry the zucchini for about 5 minutes. Season with salt and remove from skillet. Add a little more oil to the pan and fry onion rings. Season with salt. Keep warm.
3. Reheat oil until smoking. Pan-fry the beef slices in batches (about 1 to 2 minutes per side), removing them as they brown. NOTE: Make sure to do in batches and not all at one time.
4. When all the beef has been cooked, pour the marinade into the skillet and boil for 1 minute. Add sugar and water to taste. Arrange beef slices on a plate. Place the onion rings on top. Pour the sauce over the onions and beef. Serve at once.
NOTE: Try to figure out a way to keep beef tender.
