Teriyaki Bistek is the result of combining Bistek Tagalog and Beef Teriyaki. This is the counterpart of crossovers in the automobile world. This recipe started from my simple curiosity about the outcome of combining the 2 dishes. I’m glad that I got the taste that I am targeting during the first try.
I used flank steak for this recipe. You can use other beef cuts though, but make sure that you slice the meat as thin as you can so that it will cook faster. Slicing the meat thinly will make the meat tender and easy to chew.
This dish is best to eat with steamed rice. It will be great if you will use sushi rice or other semi-sticky rice variety. Of course, you can always use your favorite sinandomeng, Jasmine, or dinorado. With meals this good, I should start watching my diet.
