How to make Puertorican Bistec Encebollado(Steak and Onions)

[@Taino871]

Ok, I am 56 years old. My precious Puerto Rican wife has cooked for me for over 39 years. Now I get home WAY earlier than she does. Bueno now I do the cooking! I always made bistec con cebollas BUT I would add salsa. I made it exactly like you did and as I was serving dessert “ Me dio un beso” and she said Thank you babe…. Pero quien te enseñó? Obviamente le dije que fue usted. We are now both Subscribers to your channel. Gracias y muchas bendiciones.

[@AutumnLeavesChristmasTrees]

My dad was Puerto Rican. He passed away in December. Your channel makes me think of him. He made the best pernil, pulpo salad and eschabeche. I miss him dearly. Thank you for your videos

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Mrs_Abreu I am so sorry for your loss...I lost me dad almost 5 years ago and I miss him too.

[@efrainmendezjr898]

Sweets and Beyondond so waz up kid wats wrong?

[@jessicar.714]

this is the only recipe I use for bistec. I learned this back in 2015 and now in 2021 is STILL my go to recipe. Perfect EVERYTIME!

[@jennyvega-lopez8585]

I have NEVER seen the bistec cooked like this. Thank you! I've been in the kitchen since I was 9 years old with my abuelita. I've always made it the way she taught me. She would season it with ajo molido, sal, pimienta, vinagre y aceite y luego picaba cebolla y se la ponia por encima and then she'd marinate it for a day or two and then cook on low heat until tender, half way of cooking time she'd cut up another onion and add it as she liked it with lots of onions, sometimes she'd even add green and red bell peppers to the bistec. Thanks for sharing your recipe. ❤

[@indianikolwimbush2268]

I am Colombian but I have been making Puerto Rican and Dominican recipes for years. Bistec encebollado I learned how to do from this very video years ago when you first posted it and I always come back to this when I feel I lost my touch! Thank you sweets and beyond 🥰❤️🇨🇴🇪🇨🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷😊

[@raquelmassanet2803]

i love trying food from all over the world, so my daughters asked me one day, what would i like for my last meal. they were shocked, and so was i, that every meal i thought of was from P.R. que rica se ve esa comidita. y no te olvidaste del piquersito. me encanta.

[@NELSONDIAZBX]

Thanks for making these puertorican dishes. I was born and raised here in NYC and never learned how to cook Puerto Rican dishes. Thank you so much.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

You're welcome Nelson!

[@thatbiatchezzy]

My husband has been begging me to make him a Puerto Rican meal, sadly i never learned to cook it. your easy to follow and I think I'll surprise him with a nice night dinner.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Thanks. Check out the pollo guisado video also.

[@RememberTheLord]

Make him some ropa vieja!!

[@MissYoyi]

Soy puertorriquena y estoy aprendiendo a cocinar contigo. Muchas gracias por tus videos! Hasta ahora llevo tres recetas y han quedado muy buenas!

[@julianaramirez3429]

Many ppl don't like tomato sauce, but. True biste encebollado , no va con salsa de tomate. Once you add tomato sauce, it's biste guisado. Just made your recipe. Delicious!

[@Orlanzepol123]

True. I like it both ways but I’m stuck on the salsa. Busté.,

[@IncubusOfDeath]

I love it with the sauce....it gives it more flavor, for me at least.

[@cukiscruz7610]

Lleva salsa, sofrito y sazón con color si es biftec en salsa

[@daisycastro1092]

I enjoy watching you cook. I'm Puertorican and loved watching my mother cook. Please continue to share your recipes. I've learned alot and enjoy cooking for my family.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Thank you!

[@frankbusic1218]

I made it last night and it came out PERFECT! Came home from a day of shopping and the house smelled just like I made it the night before. This is a keeper. This will be a family favorite. Thank you!

[@carmendriggs1965]

I make mine similar, only I wash them in water with a little vinegar to remove all the blood.....

[@evangelistaalexrivas8380]

I am from El Salvador and for the first time I cooked Puerto Rican food and Wow it was so good I made the beans too. My kids said "Hey mom I say you start cooking there food. Good job! and God bless you.

[@alexandragarces8582]

Thank you for showing your viewers how to season two meats at one time. Sometimes those who teach cook for 5-6 people and its not the same measurements of seasoning for 2 people! I appreciate that!!!

[@rosalindcorredeira3070]

Thank you, my family is half Puerto Rican and half Cuban. I have the best of both worlds. Love your method and style you are my Puerto Rican Cooking mentor.

[@Mrs.goodthing25]

I love that you don’t use adobo my mom always looks at me like I’m crazy and tries to throw some adobo in my food when I’m cooking but I be trying to tell her I’m following a recipe let me cook. Btw I’m 22 I had a stroke a few years back and cooking has become something that makes me feel like I can do anything following all your recipes has taught me how to make all the food that my grandmother makes but with different ingredients and that’s what I like About them thank you

[@annam1905]

She did use adobo

[@ricardor973]

To start, Sweet, I want to say a big thank you for sharing your recipes. I'm a big fan and use them regularly. Your instructions are clear, and you don't keep us waiting because, let's be honest, we just want to cook and eat... 😄 By the way, if you add sauce to your bistec encebollado, it's no longer just bistec encebollado; it's now bistec gisao. Kudos to your husband and your dad for their contributions!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

You are very welcome!

[@alycer.8158]

Just made this 2nite....and there she was my mom...giving me a hug....ty🕊

[@Pr1ma_Gonzalez]

My fiancé is Puerto Rican and we love making your recipes. Thank you for sharing.

[@miguelalameda28]

today I tried your recipe, been cooking a while in my home since I wanted to learn and try out new things and help out my mom and have to say it is amazing. thanks for your teachings and Dios te bendiga!!!😋🇵🇷

[@sweetsandbeyond]

You're welcome!

[@nranderson778]

I made this today for Sunday dinner with the same beans and white rice. You are teaching me how to cook all of the foods I loved from my Mom's family. Thank you!

[@wilc6966]

Thank you so very much for posting your recipes and for the easy to follow directions. I cooked the bistec for my wife today. She was very proud and over joyed. You are the best!

[@gloriarusso178]

Thank you for your video in English it helps me a lot because I do not know how to read Spanish and the recipes are so easy for me to learn how to do them for my family thank you so much keep making more videos more ideas love them all!👍👍👍👍

[@withwandy]

Every single time I cook this I come back to this video. Your channel taught me to cook and I thank you so much for that! Bless❤️

[@Browneyes0911]

Beautiful plate of white rice pink beans and steak and onions, Delicious , sweet plantains included :-) Delicious

[@Babykaos69x]

I'm definitely cooking this tomorrow night for dinner.. My abuela use to cook this for me but because I moved so far away, I haven't ate this in years! 😊 thanks for posting!!

[@modestotalavera9289]

Hi, I like that you go step by step and you are thorough in your explanation, It is helping me to cook for my wife and myself, I will continue to look at your videos, thank you for posting and sharing your gift.

[@kiddnyc76]

I LOVE YOU!! Remind me of my family back home. Living in Asia so missing them lots. Been watching your videos and cooking here. Thanks for posting these all! :) You're keeping our culinary culture alive!

[@justicelachicanaricana4407]

I'm a complete believer in washing the meat in water and vinegar I can't eat meat that isn't rinsed off I have no idea why but I can't I have also found others just like me ... I love this Channel and her cooking and she is always clean .... love you from Chicago

[@mariafriend644]

My mom was not a great cook, but this is the one thing that she perfected!! Love it!!

[@xiomarareyes2364]

Shaun everyone cooks differently. From what I saw the bistec looked really nice and tender so that worked for her. Those other ways probably don't come out as soft as this. I'm Puerto Rican, I live here and all her recipes are authentic Puerto Rican foods. A few ingredients might change bc not everyone cooks the same or has the same taste. For example in my habichuelas guisadas I use cooking ham and potatoes if I have on hand. If not I'll make them just like hers. Ida, I love your channel. When I cook criolla food I call my mom and grandma now I won't have to. Thanks for your videos!

[@fredmelendez4083]

I remember my dad used to make the best Puerto rican food everyday..rice and beans beef stew, corn beef ...that man could cook. make all kinds of crazy rican food ..yum..memories. if your in s California in cypress theres a Puerto rican restaurant called big ed,s best red rice with shredded pork.. pastles. gonna try to cook this tonite,, thank you

[@cindycastellanos161]

Me encantan tu vídeo mi esposo es de puerto rico y yo soy de Honduras y contigo eh apredido muchos platillos de boricuas muchísimas gracias por poner tus vídeos suerte desde wisconsin

[@kidcrazy26]

I'm going to make this for my kids tonight. My kids grew up spending more time with the father's side of the family (from the south) and being that I was never thought how to cook except for rice and beans (I'm puerto rican) i have been learning new dishes and so far they love them. I've tried making bistek before, pero nada like this. So I'm gonna try it and add tostones.

[@daedaetinez6406]

Told my wife about this and showed her your video. She really wants to try it. You’ve help us so much. I won’t try a Puerto Rican dish without looking at one of your videos. Thank you. Do you have a video on boiled root vegetables and Cod fish??

[@blackheart8737]

I love that you do the beans so basic. Mine were over powering and this just made all the difference I was looking for! Thank you 😊

[@veronicarodriguez6032]

Trying this recipe...so excited..smells soooo delicious...Thank you again for your Fabulous Recipes👍👍

[@MissAngieBaby89]

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Jennyfer Fernandez Thank you! I made this yesterday!

[@JenniSparkles]

Thanks for your videos, I'm 25 and been married for 4 years. Though my father is boricua, I never learned how to make authentic Puerto Rican food! (Even going to PR every year of my life till the age of 15 didn't do it) I've just made anything and put sofrito in it lol. But I made this the other night and my husband was pleased. I think I put too much vinegar however, the taste was just a bit vinegary. And as for the beans, I actually was taught by my father to do it this way, so thanks!!

[@brokenxtina]

After debating which recie to try first I went with this one for dinner tonight... and it was amazing!! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and making it easy for me to understand the steps...

[@yastrulybl3ss3d98]

Just want to share with you that I have tried a few of your recipes and my hubby had loved them all. (He's my biggest critic lol) I am subscribed and I'm looking forward to trying many more of your recipes. I am a NYrican ad some would say. I learned to cook many things but some things I still ask my mom for. So now I turn to you 😉 thank you!

[@TheBrittbrat2341]

I'm so glad I found your channel, I am half puerto rican and I never get to see that side of my family too much and I just love the food! Now I can start making it on my own.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Glad you found me too :-) Let me know what you try!

[@TheBrittbrat2341]

I sure will and I'd love to see an empanada recipe!

[@MrNoturno21]

It turned out perfectly!!! Gracias por la receta! This is my favorite dish too!

[@froochie123]

I used to work with a guy who's wife made this for him. He would bring it into work and share it. When he split from his wife I disowned him and I'm happy you showed me the way to make it for myself!

[@froochie123]

I made it tonight and it was exactly what I thought it would be, thank you! The only thing I changed up was I made half my onions from he beginning and half at the end. That way i got both soft onions and some with some texture.

[@annam1905]

that steak is so soft don't even need a knife I haven't tried making this yet but I will I made so many of ur recipes already and they r the best

[@sweetsandbeyond]

@Cheryle Vazquez Thank you! Don't worry about the tenderizer. Cook it a bit longer on low and it will be tender.

[@FlowerGeek79]

Oh wow I just made Bistec Encebollado yesterday. What I do to make the meat tender is that I marinate it for 4-6 hrs in a ziploc bag with basically the same ingredients you used. This cuts the cook time in half because you do not have to wait until they are tender. My hubby likes the onions soft and I also add bell peppers for him. For my kids and I, I add pimento stuffed green olives. I also sprinkle a little more vinegar on my meat when plated.

[@ednagreen3013]

Delirico!!! Just had my mom send me some pasteles de PR and I sat to see your video while eating them!!! They are my fav also, by the way your other videos are awesome too. Nice to see PRican food hecho en la casa para gente normal no extras added for flair!
