Introduction
This is the Filipino version of steak and onions, known as bisteak . My mum grew up in Manila cooking it with kalamansi , a cross between a mandarin and a kumquat, but lemon makes a good substitute. This dish takes less than 10 minutes to cook, freeing up time to make a great side or two. Try Cauliflower or Broccoli Rice and maybe some Killer Kale or a load of lightly cooked spinach.

Ingredients
| 2 tbsp | coconut oil or ghee |
|---|---|
| 2 | large onions, sliced into rings |
| 500g | sirloin steak, cut into 5mm slices |
| 1 tbsp | chickpea flour |
| 3 | garlic cloves, finely chopped |
| juice of 1 lemon | |
| 4 tbsp | tamari |
| sea salt and black pepper |
Method
Melt half the oil in a large, wide frying pan, add the onion rings and fry over a low-medium heat for about 3 minutes until softened slightly but still with a bit of bite, then set aside on a plate.
Dust the steak slices in flour and season with a little salt and pepper.
Melt the remaining oil in the same pan, add the steak pieces, in batches if necessary, and fry over a high heat for about 1 minute on each side, then transfer to the plate with the onion rings.
Fry the garlic in the pan for about 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice, tamari and a good pinch of pepper and simmer for 2 minutes.
Return the steak and onions to the pan to gently heat through for 30 seconds and then serve.
