    BEEF STEAK (BISTEK TAGALOG)

    Philippines is known for having a lot of delicious dishes right across the
    country. Every region has a popular dish that we, Filipinos can be really proud of. In
    example, we have sisig in Pampanga, Bicol express and laing in the Bicol region.
    There are plenty of majestic cuisines that can be seen in the malls such as
    Crisostomo Restaurant located in Makati City where nothing beats good old-
    fashioned authentic Filipino food, the kind that lola used to make at home. You won’t
    be able to pass up. Next is the Romulo Café located in Tomas Morato, Quezon City
    is a family affair that is rich in heritage, history, and steeped in tradition. It's Filipino
    comfort food at its best.

    Since there are many unique and delicious dishes in the Philippines I thought
    of choosing an underrated dish that we call Beef steak. This is a Spanish dish that is
    originally called "Bistec Encebollado" that can be found in all former Spanish
    colonies but through time to time the Filipinos adopted this dish and ended up with a
    new name on it. If cuisines of other countries have their own versions of beef steaks,
    so is Philippines has its own version called Bistek Tagalog. A dish that originated in
    the Philippines and was made by the folks of Tagalog regions. The "Bistek Tagalog"
    is a dish made of strips of salted and peppered sirloin beef, usually flattened with a
    meat tenderizing tool, slowly cooked in soy sauce, calamansi juice, garlic and
    onions, a specialty of the Tagalog region. The onions are usually cut into rings, and
    are added raw when the dish is either already cooked, or almost cooked for the
    onions to soften but maintain its crunchiness. I chose to represent this dish that could
    best represent the country and make it big in the international culinary scene because
    I appreciate how the Filipinos ended up with the word "Bistek", However, if you may
    ask, why the Filipinos ended up with the word "Bistek" and not "Bistec"? Probably if
    you will notice and inspect the old Tagalog alphabet there is no letter "C" that time,
    that is why instead of letter "C" Tagalog alphabet uses the letter "K”. I chose this dish
    because it wonders me on how the Filipinos love this dish and eventually gave them
    reasons to come up with their own Filipino version. This in one of my favorite
    Filipino dish because it has a little bit of sour taste and because I love onions as well.
    Lastly, I chose this dish because it has a contribution to our Filipino history which is
    Beef Steak was origin in Spain.

    Philippines has a lot of variety of cuisines to offer, in my perception, the


    problem is that Filipinos are too easy to get when we talk about food. Not to
    generalize everyone, but, we always want to eat what is trending. Filipinos always
    want to relate and keep on supporting of the so called “mainstream”. One example is
    the Korean Samgyupsal. If I would be given an opportunity to have an advocacy, one
    of the things that I will promote is “Tangkilikin ang Sariling Atin!” and “Support
    Lokal!” by that, Filipinos, especially the Generation Z will help them realize where
    we came from.
