Filipino Poorman's Steak (Bistek a La Pobre) image

This is a variation of a popular Filipino dish called Bistek a la pobre. This is a mainstay in my family's weekly diner menu back home. The beauty of this recipe is that it is very flexible and you can make it any way you want it. My mom would sometimes make this with finely chopped carrots. I prefer adding chopped spring onions to the stir fried onion rings for garnish. Serve it with steamed rice.

This recipe is a great way to save money on steak. I used a cheaper cut of steak and it turned out just as tender and flavorful as a more expensive cut. The sauce is also very affordable to make.
