Beef Steak

I really wanted to love this recipe, but it wasn't as good as I'd expected it to be. The marinade is actually quite tasty - I think an overnight soak in the marinade would be more helpful. I marinated my steaks for 1 hour and stillthought they could have stood more time. The directions are a little vague - I was unclear what cut of meat to use and finally decided upon sirloin steaks cut about 1/2" thick. I didn't care for the pan frying method - I would recommend grilling the meat rather than the panfrying. I thought the amount of oil was way too much - I didn't need to add the extra 2 Tbsp. of oil when cooking the onions. I might make this again, but only with lots of alterations.

My husband is Filipino and he will add a little bit of sugar to the marinade, which alters the taste dramatically.

My Filipino mother would always make this for me, and I couldn't quite figure out what I was missing when I made it -- thanks to your recipe I realized it was the lemon juice! I appreciate it and so did my family. Delicious.

We loved this meal - we ended up marinating the steaks for 8 hours since the playoff games last Sunday were so good.. the steak's were yummy and I served it with white rice. I made 3 steaks, hoping for beef tip salad the next day for lunch but BF ate 2!!!

I marinated the the meat for 2 hours in the fridge, only sprayed the pan lightly with Olive oil, left the steak on the pan when half cooked and added the onions. It was tasty but lacked a little something - I think the review that mentioned adding a bit of sugar would have done the trick. I used a New York cut. Thank you Marites ladin I enjoyed my dinner.
