Method
- In a bowl, marinate in the refrigerator the pork slices in soy sauce, calamansi or lemon juice, and pepper for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a little oil in a pan and fry the onion rings until soft and lightly browned. Set aside.
- In the same pan, add more oil if needed and brown the pork pieces on both sides.
- Pour in the marinade and water, then bring to a simmer.
- Cover and cook until the pork is tender and the sauce has reduced to a savoury gravy.
- Return the onions to the pan and simmer briefly so they warm through and absorb some sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, then serve pork bistek with steamed rice.
