How to Cook Pork Steak

Pork Steak is a Filipino dish that we inherited from the land of "uncle Sam". We, Filipinos usually called it "bistek" a tagalog slang for "steak". Although steak is not so expensive to make, it still symbolizes a good status in life for Filipinos. I remember one time, my mom's friend asked: "what's your viand for today" my mom repied: "pork steak" and her friend teased her: "wow, pa-steak steak na lang, social!"  very funny but I love How we  Filipinos treat life funny and easy. Steak recipe can be done with fish, beef, chicken, pork and the most popular in the Philippines: egg plant steak or what we usually called as "bistek na talong".

Among steak recipes I mentioned above, my most favorite is beef steak. I love the pure lean beef although pork with little fats attached is quite good especially if you don't serve it very often.. There are times that I want to be vegetarian for a day, I cook eggplant steak too. Every time I cook steak, I can't help eating more than the usual meal take. I really love the fresh onion on top of it and the yummy taste of soy sauce with calamnsi and a little touch of sweet and spicy flavor...OMG! I'm craving for steak!. My family love steak so much so I always make sure to prepare it for them during Sunday when we are complete at home and I make sure always to back up "extra rice".

Cooking steak is one of the easiest procedure of all recipes I wrote in my food blog. I'm pretty sure that like me, you and your family will enjoy this recipe. Just make sure to cut exact number of slices to serve for each family member. I will show you the procedure  in cooking pork steak which can make 5 servings just follow the steps below:

Ingredients:

• 5 pcs. pork chops
• 5 tbsp. soy sauce
• 1 pc. calamansi
• 1 big white onion (ring cut)
• 1/2 cup cooking oil
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 tbsp. white sugar
• salt and pepper to taste

Procedure:

• Prior cooking, combine soy sauce, calamansi extract, sugar, salt and pepper in a bowl. Marinade pork chops for at least 1 hour but if you prefer to marinade it over night it would be better.
• On a pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat.
• Pan-fry the marinated pork chops for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn upside down and fry for another 5 minutes.
• Upon frying, pork will produce oil and you have to remove these excess oil  to avoid too much fat.
• Pour in the marinade, cover and let it boil for at least 30 minutes over medium heat.
• Add water then boil for another 15 minutes or until meat is tender.
•  Put in the onion rings on top the cover and remove from heat. The remaining heat inside the pan will slightly cook the onions but onions will remain fresh.
• Transfer to serving plate.
• Serve with rice and enjoy!

note: This procedure can be done  with beef,chicken,fish and eggplant.
