Lemon Bistek Tagalog Recipe

In a saute pan over medium-high heat, heat enough oil to cover the bottom. Add thinly sliced beef, a few thin slices at a time, and cook until just cooked through then immediately remove from the oil. Set aside. Repeat in batches until all the beef are cooked through. Set aside.  

In the same pan, pour in water, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ground black pepper to deglaze the pan. Bring to a quick boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Once simmering, return the beef and add onions to the pan and cook until just heated through. 

Serve while hot with lots of steamed rice.
