Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin or tenderloin
- 60 ml Gluten-free soy sauce
- 30 ml Vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 5 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola oil)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon or calamansi juice
Instructions
Slice the beef into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick. If the beef is partially frozen, it will be easier to slice thinly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and lemon or calamansi juice. Mix until the sugar is dissolved and the ingredients are well combined.
Add the sliced beef to the marinade, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Cover the bowl and marinate the beef in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the marinated beef slices in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Fry the beef for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Remove the beef from the skillet and let it drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the Gluten-Free Beef Tapa immediately, with garlic rice and a sunny-side-up egg for a complete meal.
