Marinate the steak:
- In a shallow dish, combine the lemon juice, soy sauce, minced garlic, grated ginger, and ground black pepper.
- Place the beef steak slices in the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Allow the steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
-
Pan fry the steak:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the marinated steak slices, reserving the marinade for later use.
- Cook the steak slices until they are browned on both sides and cooked to your desired level of doneness, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the cooked steak slices to a serving dish and keep warm.
-
Prepare the sauce:
- In a small bowl, dissolve the flour in water to create a slurry.
- In the same skillet used to cook the steak, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
- Add the sliced onions to the skillet and cook until they are tender and caramelized.
- Pour in the reserved marinade and bring it to a simmer.
- Gradually add the flour slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 1 minute.
-
Serve:
- Once the sauce has thickened, pour it over the cooked steak slices in the serving dish.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or spring onions, if desired.
- Serve the Filipino Beef Steak hot, accompanied by steamed rice or your favorite side dishes.
