Ingredients
- ½ cup soy sauce
- ¼ cup calamansi juice
- 1 head garlic, peeled and minced
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 3 pounds beef sirloin, thinly sliced
- canola oil
Instructions
- In a non-reactive bowl, combine soy sauce, calamansi juice, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper. Stir until sugar and salt are dissolved.
- Add beef and massage to fully coat with marinade. Keep overnight in the refrigerator to cure. Drain meat from marinade.
- In a wide pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon oil.
- Add beef in a single layer and cook, turning on sides, for about 3 to 5 minutes or until liquid (meat will dispel liquid) is almost absorbed.
- Add another 1 tablespoon of oil and continue to cook until the meat is lightly browned and caramelized.
- Remove from pan and cut into serving portions. Serve hot.
Notes
- Cut the beef thinly for faster cooking and across the grain to ensure a tender chew. To make slicing easier, freeze the meat for a few minutes until slightly firm.
- Do not marinate the meat too long, as the marinade's acids will denature the protein fibers and produce a mushy texture.
- If substituting tougher cuts, such as the bottom round, add about 1 cup of water and simmer the tapa until tender before finishing in oil to crisp up and brown.
