About Bistek
Bistek, short for "bistec," is a traditional Filipino dish derived from Spanish influence, featuring thinly sliced beef marinated in soy sauce, calamansi (or lemon) juice, garlic, and pepper. The beef is pan-seared and simmered with caramelized onions, resulting in a savory, tangy dish often served over steamed rice. Rich in protein, Bistek provides essential amino acids necessary for muscle repair and energy. The dish's inclusion of onions adds antioxidants and vitamins, while calamansi offers a dose of vitamin C. However, its high sodium content from soy sauce can be a concern for individuals monitoring their salt intake or managing hypertension. Opting for low-sodium soy sauce or moderating consumption can make this hearty and flavorful dish more heart-healthy. Perfect for a comforting meal, Bistek is a delicious representation of Filipino cuisine’s harmonious blend of flavors and cultural history.
