Ingredients

500 gram of Beef Round Steak or sirloin (Thinly Sliced)
⅓ cup of soy sauce
⅓ cup of oyster sauce
2 tablespoon of vinegar
1 medium onion, thinly sliced into a ring shape
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 cloves of grated garlic
1.5 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 teaspoon crushed peppercorn
3 bay leaves
3 tablespoon of vegetable oil
1 cup water
Salt for taste (when needed)

Instructions

In a large bowl, mix the beef, soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, grated garlic, brown sugar, and peppercorn. Let it marinated for 15 to 30 minutes
Add two tablespoons of vegetable oil to the pan. Once hot, add the marinated beef.
Stir lightly, and let the beef cook till it turns brown and the juice fully evaporates.
Remove the beef from the pan. Set aside.
In the same pan, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add chopped onion and give a stir for 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the marinated sauce, including garlic and bay leaves, and water. Stir to mix before adding the beef.
Once it’s boiling, lower the fire to low heat. Let it simmer for 35-45 minutes or until the beef is tender.
In a separate pan, add a tablespoon of oil and add the sliced onion ring. Half fry the onion till it becomes soft.
Lastly, transfer the onion ring into the beef bistek. Serve with steamed white rice. Enjoy.

Notes

Marinating the meat is an optional. You can skip that part if you prefer the cook the beef steak right away

The salt is just optional since the soy sauce adds saltiness to the dish.
