Is there an alternative to calamansi? I've tried making it here in the UK with lemon and it never ever comes out right. I get that calamansi has a slight sweetness but regardless I don't think I have the proportions correct with the lemon. Or does anyone know how to make it with the bottled calamansi extract you get from Pinoy stores?
Erwan Heussaff thank you!! It was hard to hear him. You could tell he was nervous because he was fidgeting w the tools on the beginning and mumbling then he warmed up
Hi! Nowadays, most of the items in the market are not local. I remember our research project when I was in high school. We did an interview with the sellers of vegetables in our local wet market in visayas, we were all surprised to know that 90% is from china. Farmers nowadays sell their lands because they cannot compete with the price of imported goods. Slowly, unconsciously, we are importing all our food because we dont have local producers. Thank you for bringing this topic and for this reminder to support our local farmers.
Finally able to watch a chef who cooked beef "bistek" steak pinoy style properly. No suka , no spring onions, no flour/corn starch etc. Divisoria always have white and red onions mostly produce from nueva viscaya, nueva ecija or pangasinan.
@@jejusss i dont put garlic either but what i like the most is he didnt add any msg (nam-nam, magic sarap, knorr seasoning and oyster sauce). He cooked bistek filipino way.
I showed it to my husband and he wanted to try it because he was expecting for a medium grilled beef as steak 😅 but he said it looks like adobo because of the colour. Nakakagutom tuloy! 😥
Maybe because "steak" in western countries is the common steak; a slab of meat which is far from "bistek" that we have. Completely different from each other and confuses most foreigners a lot ...
This is the first time I ever commented to your vlog and I just noticed you have reached 1M subscribers. I always thought you deserve more subscribers because of the quality you put into your videos. Congrats!
It is actually "bistek", not "beef steak". That's a common enough misconception. The name comes from Spanish bistec or bisté, which in turn is derived from English "beefsteak". The name did not directly come from English. The original full name of the dish is bistec encebollado ("beef steak in onions") and it is very likely to be _originally_ Filipino, even though it is found throughout the Spanish-speaking world. The evidence is the name. Another name for bistec encebollado in Latin America is "bistec Tagalo" (lit. "Tagalog beef steak").
@@kabstofly Go to a random restaurant and order a "beef steak". Do you get _this_ dish? Just because words have the same etymon doesn't meant they're synonyms. A "beef steak" is not a "bistek".
Angry Kittens ofc if I walk into mcdonald’s or any “random” restaurant and order beefsteak they wouldn’t have it, however if i walked in a filipino restaurant and order “beef steak” they would 100% know what i’m talking about lol
I use spiced vinegar on mine and marinate it for couple days. Use instant pot for 15mins since i like the beef soft and transfer it on the hot pan w onions to kind of stir fry it to give that filipino taste 😊
Nothing beat filipino foods especially this one! Ibang iba lasa pag sa pinas niluto... nakakamiss 😋😋😋 gutom much na, hehehehe buti lunch time na dito sa Riyadh
I just cooked Bistek few days ago and used lime because it's hard to find calamansi here in Australia. I find lime less acidic than calamansi, and less aromatic than lemon, so it's okay because it's not as so aromatic as lemon but not so okay since it's less acidic than calamansi. Calamansi is still the best for Bistek.
My father usually marinates tough cut meats with raw minced garlic for an hour and a half as the garlic tenderizes the meat before he adds the marinade (soy sauce, lemon juice, black pepper). Omg im drooling just thinking about it!
Since a kid til now this is my favorite viand. My mom tend to call it bistek or beefsteak tho she's using pork. Hahaha. Definitely, this is the same way how my mom cooked this! Bring backs the memory of every Sundays. 😊
I barely hear you guys talk because of the cooking sound i guess. But while he is cooking it makes my mouth water. I now crave for that, will cook that soon too. ❤️😘
That's the boon and bane of Filipino cuisine. It is very dynamic and eclectic. Boon since it can adapt, bane because there's no single identity for a recipe.
Idk this is how I make it. I don't use garlic. Cut two onions into rings, cook one onion worth of rings in a super hot oiled pan and fast so that they get some browning on it but if you bit into the onion it's still raw in the inside. Take it out put the other onion rings in and cook it low and slow for like 15 mins until it's really caramelized and take it out. Pour the meat and soy sauce + calamansi marinate into the same pan and boil/braise it until the meat is cooked or to the tenderness you want it at, also put the caramelized onions in the middle of this being cooked how you want the meat done. When you're almost done add those half cooked onion in and add a corn starch slurry to thicken the sauce. There it's done you have the flavor, depth, sweetness and richness of caramelized onions while still having the texture of an onion.
I kept on wondering why he had to cook the onions at different times then you were able to give a plausible explanation then Chef Allen said "no" hahaha but when you think about it, it makes sense!
Onions barely live on a wet season most of our onions planted during the mid cold to summer season and we know we are bombarded by min 20 typhoons so imported onions is a huge help to us but huge part of the local onions is stored to the cold storages (which is not accessible for the local famers) so its the season and financial support is the key factor for local production.
I remember my lola used to add sprite (lime soda) on it and marinate it. But before that she’s bruising the meat first( tinatadtad ung karne) so that all the marinate sauce and spices easy to absorb
My version would be brisket with fat caps. If im in the province or something id tenderize it using wood as a heat source(that smoke flavor from cooking with wood is love). Ill just use meat tenderizer if im lazy which is most of the time. But all pretty much the same with 2 batches of onions aaaaand I put a little oyster sauce. Edit: And no kikoman as soy sauce for me, coconut brand is what I use.
Searing requires high heat and typically with raw meat. The purpose of searing is to get color and seal the juices in the meat. There's no way to (pan) sear any meat by starting off with garlic in the pan.
The carinderia version uses tougher meat so they simmer it for at least 30mins up to an hour. The advantage to that is the meat absorbs the flavor more.
For tougher meat, pound the meat flat to loosen up the muscles. Also, a bit different from how I make it is that I marinate with onions and black pepper and I don’t cook with it with garlic. Either way, it’s a Filipino original dish. It should up there with Adobo! 😋
I’ve tried many times marinading the meat 🥩 with pineapple 🍍 as a tenderiser as Filipino beef steak tends to be tough and it’s just not made the beef tender but also adds another element of yumminess to the recipe itself.
Eon Ziggy because it’s the taste that you are used to. There’s an enzyme in the pineapple that makes the meat tender and I’m not just making that up 😁 Enjoy your pineapple chikin....booobogggooookkkk 🐓🐓🐓
Im still at the office. And Im really hungry watching this. 😂 because of the youtube notifs i realized that its time to eat dinner. 😅shocks this is 3hrs ago i think. Haha
Oh my gosh, such so into delicious meaty beefsteak that came mix with probably colorful dark black soy sauce, softly onion ring vegetable, & vegetable fried rice.
since I always watch your videos with my daughter we end up talking in English at home which we don't normally do lol.. How about a little challenge Erwan why not try to make videos in Tagalog that would be nice ^_^

agree with you. chef allen was one of the best chef here in PH. i think he just choose to be lowkey and let his food do the noise.
We don't put garlic on our bistek 🤔 that was the only missing piece for our bistek hmm should try it
@@jejusss i dont put garlic either but what i like the most is he didnt add any msg (nam-nam, magic sarap, knorr seasoning and oyster sauce). He cooked bistek filipino way.

I'll def try this way pag magkapera nako. haha!
he was my supposed Boss!!! until i got pregnant before actual training and deployment 😅😭 sorry I let you down boss.. doctors orders to bedrest 🥺🥺🥺
I tried and cooked this for my boyfriend. He liked it very much!! Just followed the recipe and it was so good!
my fav dish...yummy...just ate it for lunch...bistek is not cheap even in local carinderia's...got 3 matchbox sized pcs. for 80 PHP...lol
I showed it to my husband and he wanted to try it because he was expecting for a medium grilled beef as steak 😅 but he said it looks like adobo because of the colour. Nakakagutom tuloy! 😥
Tell him to stop judging things by color thats racist 😂
francis mendiola Haha He said he wasn’t, he loves adobo though and looking forward to try bistek soon.

Is it just me or Erwan kinda looks like Enrique Iglesias 😍😍😍😍 my heart is melting
MY ALL TIME FAVORITE FILIPINO DISH + FAVORITE FOOD VLOGGER
Now I'm craving for one! Bistek is one dish I could eat everyday. 🤤
Yeahp! Me too!

hope you try it out soon!

Watching this at 1130pm and now my stomach is growling! Need to try recreating this recipe soon!
Btw, that 60fps was so satisfying.
Since a kid til now this is my favorite viand. My mom tend to call it bistek or beefsteak tho she's using pork. Hahaha. Definitely, this is the same way how my mom cooked this! Bring backs the memory of every Sundays. 😊
Being a CHEF is not considered as a JOB, it is a PASSION and WILL, hope i can learn more...
(Tasting the food is the best thing in the world ) 😍😍😍
Actually, we do put garlic first on Spain
Is putting garlic essential for the "guisado" method? If so, maybe it has its roots from there.
Spain brought such to The Philippines.
I barely hear you guys talk because of the cooking sound i guess. But while he is cooking it makes my mouth water. I now crave for that, will cook that soon too. ❤️😘
Thank goodness someone skilled cooks on this show.
I'm going to follow this recipe!! Thank you Erwan for showing us this!!!
can't wait for you to try!
don't follow the recipe, just follow your heart
Wow...that was one of my fave "ulam" here in our country..my grandmother made the best bistek I ever taste❤👌
grandmas make the best meals!
My grandmother do this but instead of beef she uses pork and it’s so delicious😍🤤
same!!! ❤
Omg!!! Jason!!!! Night shift line cook at wildflour rada!! I used to work at WF. To bad i need to go.But working at wildflour is one of the best. ❤️
Btw. Hi chef allen. Normal outfit na talaga ni chef ang black pants and black shirt.
Question: how many black shirt you have chef. 😂
That's the boon and bane of Filipino cuisine. It is very dynamic and eclectic. Boon since it can adapt, bane because there's no single identity for a recipe.
Adding oyster sauce and a tablespoon of butter will enhance all the goodness from this beautiful bistek
How much oyster sauce do you add?
Janine basicaly i cut the amount of soy sauce in half and replace the other half with oyster sauce
I dont like oyster sauce on beef and pork but now im curious how it would taste on bistek 🤔
Bistek is Spanish ( Bistec )
Bistec Tagalog in Luzon, in Iloilo it is called Carne Frita.
but we smash it first with knife flipped opposite to tenderize it right? the carne frita way,
taga iloilo gya hehe
But you cant eat Filipino beef steak without rice!? Haha
you're right! too bad we didn't have some
Eating ulam without kanin is a sacrilege!!!
Yah eating Filipino ulam without rice is not Filipino. Hahaha
no way.....has to be eaten with rice.....PERIOD!
Erwan Heussaff yeah "but we're keto" lol
Idk this is how I make it. I don't use garlic.
Cut two onions into rings, cook one onion worth of rings in a super hot oiled pan and fast so that they get some browning on it but if you bit into the onion it's still raw in the inside. Take it out put the other onion rings in and cook it low and slow for like 15 mins until it's really caramelized and take it out.

Best explained recipe on video that I've ever seen. Thank you!
glad you liked it!
Sir Erwan! Lucky Me Pancit Canton with a twist please hehe. Thaaaaanks!
I kept on wondering why he had to cook the onions at different times then you were able to give a plausible explanation then Chef Allen said "no" hahaha but when you think about it, it makes sense!
Yeheeyyy its out na sa wakas.

That’s my favorite baon when I was younger. My mom used to cook it for me and my sister. ❤️

Hindi maarte magluto ang guest ni erwan...which i like.
My version would be brisket with fat caps.

I think I’ll make this for dinner! It’s been awhile since I’ve ate this.
I modified the cooking, i brown the meat, and put it all back in iron skillet, and put it in the oven 350 for 30 minutes...meat are so tender.

He's loud at his restos! A good, humble chef.
this is very helpful , thank you so much to both of you , on of the most under rated filipino entrees ever.
