Filipino beef steak is one of those dishes when you have a bite, it's hard to stop. You keep going and going until you lose count of how many cups of rice you've consumed.
Everyone has a different way to make beef steak, and Chef Allen from Wildflour is here to show us his recipe. He claims to make a killer beef steak, so why not try it out?

Is there an alternative to calamansi? I've tried making it here in the UK with lemon and it never ever comes out right. I get that calamansi has a slight sweetness but regardless I don't think I have the proportions correct with the lemon. Or does anyone know how to make it with the bottled calamansi extract you get from Pinoy stores?

[@avaa2314]

Erwan Heussaff thank you!! It was hard to hear him. You could tell he was nervous because he was fidgeting w the tools on the beginning and mumbling then he warmed up

Hi! Nowadays, most of the items in the market are not local. I remember our research project when I was in high school. We did an interview with the sellers of vegetables in our local wet market in visayas, we were all surprised to know that 90% is from china. Farmers nowadays sell their lands because they cannot compete with the price of imported goods. Slowly, unconsciously, we are importing all our food because we dont have local producers. Thank you for bringing this topic and for this reminder to support our local farmers.

[@AngryKittens]

It is actually "bistek", not "beef steak". That's a common enough misconception. The name comes from Spanish bistec or bisté, which in turn is derived from English "beefsteak". The name did not directly come from English. The original full name of the dish is bistec encebollado ("beef steak in onions") and it is very likely to be _originally_ Filipino, even though it is found throughout the Spanish-speaking world. The evidence is the name. Another name for bistec encebollado in Latin America is "bistec Tagalo" (lit. "Tagalog beef steak").

Actually, we do put garlic first on Spain

[@hijodelsoldeoriente]

Is putting garlic essential for the "guisado" method? If so, maybe it has its roots from there. Spain brought such to The Philippines.

[@rice6682]

Finally able to watch a chef who cooked beef "bistek" steak pinoy style properly. No suka , no spring onions, no flour/corn starch etc. Divisoria always have white and red onions mostly produce from nueva viscaya, nueva ecija or pangasinan.

[@shawnromano3817]

agree with you. chef allen was one of the best chef here in PH. i think he just choose to be lowkey and let his food do the noise.

We don't put garlic on our bistek 🤔 that was the only missing piece for our bistek hmm should try it

[@michaeljaysonbanua4870]

Maybe because "steak" in western countries is the common steak; a slab of meat which is far from "bistek" that we have. Completely different from each other and confuses most foreigners a lot ...

[@itskarscakes]

I just cooked Bistek few days ago and used lime because it's hard to find calamansi here in Australia. I find lime less acidic than calamansi, and less aromatic than lemon, so it's okay because it's not as so aromatic as lemon but not so okay since it's less acidic than calamansi. Calamansi is still the best for Bistek.

[@mar7013]

It will be the first time I will be putting a thumbs down to this, (sorry mate!) the beef is getting overcooked, anthe chef is so boring and not very appealing to watch, big FAIL! Tender meat need not be cooked very long as what he's doing, especially sliced very thinly, omg.. been cooking for my family in Australia and never had to cook thinly sliced steak for a long time like that. Even if I use lemon instead of calamansi, same taste, still good, depends on the cut of steak really. We also use thick steak but no marinating needed, many Filipinos like their steak marinated but in proper steakhouses you won't see steak marinated. For very thick steak, no marinating is needed to enjoy the full taste of the beef. This Chef failed in many points, don't invite him anymore Erwan please!! Very lousy!

[@nockez712]

Really bad video. Don’t waste your time. I’m sure he’s a real chef but never said the recipe. There’s a link below of the recipe. Who knows if it’s really his. Some people are very secretive about their recipe like this chef. This video is mostly life history. OMG

calamansi juice isn’t going to be an easy find.. can I sub 1 part fresh orange juice & 3 part lemon juice mix?

[@wowmawc]

My version would be brisket with fat caps. If im in the province or something id tenderize it using wood as a heat source(that smoke flavor from cooking with wood is love). Ill just use meat tenderizer if im lazy which is most of the time. But all pretty much the same with 2 batches of onions aaaaand I put a little oyster sauce. Edit: And no kikoman as soy sauce for me, coconut brand is what I use.

But isn't 'bistek' derived from the Spanish 'Bistec' which is then from the English 'Beef Steak?' (I.e. by way of Spain)?

yes, but we adopted the term and contextualized it. That is why bistek is considered as 'Filipino food' like adobo.

[@jimmysobrino9677]

It releases all that liquid because you put too much meat all at once. What happens is that your meat gets boiled instead of sear which majes the meat tough. Try frying a few pieces at a time and then when you are done you fry the onion in the oil with all the flavor in it...the onion will soak it up. For the sauce there will be some left from the marinade...add a little of water and simmer it in yhe same pot and pour over the meat.
