This is one of the favorite things that my mom makes. She marinaded this then I took over and cooked it and added a few different things to the mix, it came out great! Nice teamwork!
Ingredients:
4 thinly sliced beef tenderloin steaks, tenderized
1 onion sliced into thick pieces
1 yellow bell pepper
1 tbsp. adobo seasoning
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 garlic cloves, mashed
fresh oregano
salt and pepper
1 tomato, diced
Marinade the steak with the bell pepper, adobo, olive oil, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper for 35 minutes. Remove the meat from marinade then dump the marinade mixture in a large skillet and saute for 2-3 minutes then add the meat and cook for 3 minutes on each side. Once you are done cut place the tomato on the plate then add the onion, and bell pepper to the plate and place the meat on top. Serve.

In the Philippines, there’s something similar called bistek. Instead it’s marinated with a soy sauce base and cooked with onions.
That sounds awesome! I’ll have to give it a try sometime.

This tenderloin preparation sounds excellent! Looking forward to trying this method.
