Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin
- 0.25 cup coconut aminos
- 0.25 cup fresh lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 onions medium yellow onions, sliced into rings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon stevia or erythritol
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Slice the beef sirloin into thin, bite-sized pieces and place them in a bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mix coconut aminos, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and stevia or erythritol. Pour this mixture over the beef slices, ensuring they are well-coated. Let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes, or ideally for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the sliced onions until they are soft and translucent, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the onions from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the marinated beef slices along with the marinade. Sear the beef for 4-5 minutes on each side until it is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
Reduce the heat to low and return the onions to the skillet with the beef. Add the water to the skillet and let it simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
Season with sea salt to taste, adjust as necessary, and remove from heat.
Serve the keto Bistek Tagalog hot, garnished with additional fresh lemon slices if desired.
