Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- 60 ml Gluten-free soy sauce
- 60 ml Calamansi juice or lemon juice
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 medium Onion, sliced into rings
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Cooking oil
- 120 ml Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free soy sauce, calamansi or lemon juice, minced garlic, and black pepper.
Add the thinly sliced beef to the marinade. Ensure all pieces are well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
Heat cooking oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the pan and sauté until they are soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the marinated beef slices in batches, ensuring not to crowd the pan. Cook each side for 2-3 minutes, or until they brown. Remove the cooked beef and set aside. Continue with the rest of the beef.
Once all beef slices are cooked, return them to the pan. Add the water and any remaining marinade. Allow the mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the beef is tender.
Add the sautéed onions back into the pan and mix well with the beef. Simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Season with additional salt if needed.
Serve hot with steamed rice.
