Pound the beef ribeye slices thinly and cut the onions into rings.
Mix the soy sauce, lemon juice, crushed garlic, and black pepper, then marinate the meat for 30 minutes.
Drain the meat and reserve the marinade.
Turn the onion rings in half of the vegetable oil for 4 minutes, then transfer them to a plate.
Sear the meat in the remaining oil over high heat for 5 minutes, until both sides take on color.
Add the reserved marinade, water, and sugar, then cook the meat over low heat for 12 minutes.
Return the onion rings to the pan, gloss them in the sauce for 3 minutes, and serve with rice pilaf.
💡 Tip: Pound the meat very thin and keep the lemon marinade to 30 minutes; if it sits longer, the surface can turn stringy and firm.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve Bistek Tagalog hot with plain rice pilaf and optional cucumber.
