Receta Carne Bistec
Like the Filipino dish this bistec is really easy and simple to prepare but yield a very tasty result. Bistec is a Spanish word for steak and it can be used as a name of a dish like our post today. Basing on these two dishes bistec can be defined as a dish made with thinly sliced or tenderized beef cooked with lots of onions, the other ingredients I guess is defined by local ingredients and flavour profile of the place where it is served, for example the Mexican version is usually enjoyed with tortillas, the Cuban version is usually served with black beans and yellow rice, the Filipino version is seasoned with soy sauce and lemon while the Columbian uses cumin. I love this dish, it packs a lot of flavour, it has a different taste profile compared to Filipino dishes hence it gives a different and unique experience for every Filipino who will be trying it for the first time. Having said that different does not mean it is bad in fact it is easy to like this dish, the cumin gives it a lot of character but it’s not an overpowering spice that can ruin the whole dish.Carne Bistec Save PrintPrep time Cook time Total time Serves: 4-5Ingredients750g beef sirloin or tenderloin, thinly sliced2 tbsp cumin2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced1 white onion, thinly sliced4 cloves garlic, minced⅓ cup waterolive oilsaltfreshly ground black pepperInstructionsSeason beef slices with salt and 1 tbsp of cumin.Prepare a large heavy pan, heat pan until it smokes then add a small amount of oil just enough to thinly cover the surface.
