Pork Steak ( Bistek na Baboy).

Porksteak is one of the famous dish that we learned from Spanish. Usually it is made from beef  but we made our version of pork steak originated from Southern Tagalog.  Soy sauce, calamansi, and onion  are the main ingredients that suits to our taste. You can add brown sugar as well, but in this video, I have added dates for my own version.

Ingrediets:

3 pieces    Pork Chop (pork shoulder sliced).
3 tbsp.      Calamansi or Lemon
2 tbsp.      Soy Sauce
1 piece     Large Onion (chop thinly for 1 tbsp. and cut into rings the remaining).
4 cloves   Garlic ( chop thinly for 2 cloves and chop into small for the remaining).
1 tsp.        Salt
1/2 tsp.     Ground Black Pepper
4 tbsp.      Cooking Oil
1 cup        Water
5 pcs.        Dates (optional).
1 tbsp.       Parsley (optional)

Cooking Procedure:

Step 1

Marinate pork chop for one hour by combining calamansi or lemon, soy sauce, minced garlic

minced,minced onion, salt, ground black pepper, dates or 2 tsp. of brown sugar, and parsley.

Step 2
Mix very well to incorporate all ingredients. Set aside for at least one hour. If you have more
time to prepare, you can marinate your pork for longer hours for better result.

Step 3
Remove the pork chop from marinade and set aside the juices. Remove the sticking ingredients properly before you fry the pork chop. It may affect the taste once the marinade ingredients were burned.

Step 4
Turn the stove to medium heat and pour 3 tablespoon of cooking oil. Then, lightly fry the pork
chop for 3 minutes for each side or until the color turns to golden brown. Set aside the pork
chop once it is done.

Step 5
Turn the stove to low medium heat and pour 1 tablespoon of cooking oil. Sauté 2 cloves of
chopped garlic until golden brown. Then add the pork chop and marinade including 1 cup
of water. Simmer for 30 minutes. Check occasionally the liquid then add water if needed.

Step 6
Add ring onions and simmer it for 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce the liquid then serve while hot.
