Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin, sliced very thinly against the grain
- 5 Tbsp soy sauce
- 1 lemon, juiced (about 3 Tbsp), or calamansi juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 4 Tbsp olive oil, divided
- 3 medium onions, sliced into rings
- 1 cup water
- 1 pinch salt, to taste
Method
- Combine the beef, soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper in a bowl. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the refrigerator.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the onion rings for 2 to 3 minutes until just softened but still holding their shape. Remove and set aside.
- Drain the beef, reserving the marinade. Heat the remaining oil in the same pan and sear the beef in batches over high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until browned.
- Pour the reserved marinade and the water into the pan, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
- Cover and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, until the beef is tender and the sauce has reduced slightly. Add a little water if it dries out.
- Taste and add salt only if needed, as the soy sauce is salty. Return the onion rings on top of the beef and simmer for 2 more minutes.
- Serve hot over steamed rice, spooning the sauce and onions over each portion.
