Soy sauce, onions, salt, pepper, calamansi– these are a couple of ingredients you may commonly find in most classic Filipino viands. And the appeal definitely resonates well with us as these truly go well with a great deal of dishes, blending perfectly with savory flavors. It makes sense then for these much-favored seasonings and spices to come together in one recipe. Beefsteak, more fondly known as Bistek, utilizes this beautiful combination. But today, weโll be exploring Pork Steak, which is a twist on that original recipe in using succulent pork chops as its meat.ย
If youโve already gotten a taste of Bistek, you would probably be aware of its unmistakably delicious saltiness and mild tang. But these flavors also go incredibly well with the pork chop cut, which are more affordable. Moreover, these are milder in taste than beef, which gives our tasty seasonings more of a chance to shine.
And another advantage to trying to make your own Pork Steak? The steps are quick and simple, and can serve as a fantastic starter dish for a beginner cook. If youโre only starting to learn how to cook, donโt let yourself get intimidated. Grab an apron so we can start making this meaty, juicy dish!
Follow these steps to make some mouthwatering, succulent Pork Steak:
This should take only about an hour to cook, and so youโll have plenty of time to chow down on this delicious dish after youโve made it. Just make sure you prepare in advance to marinade the delicious pork chops! Start out by getting a large bowl or a resealable bag. Place 4 pork chops, 5 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 pieces of juiced lime or calamansi inside. To let that flavor seep into the meat perfectly, marinate this for a minimum of 1 hour.
Now pour ยฝ cup of cooking oil into a pan, and let this heat accordingly. Afterwards, place the marinated pork chops inside, and pan-fry them in medium heat. Make sure to switch sides after 3 minutes to cook both parts evenly and nicely. Pan-fry the other side for 3 minutes as well.
Then take out all of your excess oil. Instead, put whatโs left of your marinade in the pan, as well as 1 ยฝ cups of water. Wait for this to boil. Then let it simmer for 45 minutes or until your pork chops are perfectly soft and tender. If you notice the water running out, feel free to pour more into the pan.
Add some flavor and some of the last ingredients to make this dish:
Letโs season this dish with ยฝ teaspoon of granulated white sugar, and some salt and pepper to your taste. After you add this to the mix, stir everything together well. For that final touch of flavor and texture, weโll be adding 2 onions that weโve sliced. Let this cook for 3 more minutes, and then you would be ready to serve this amazingly savory batch of Pork Steak! Simply turn your heat off, and put everything from the pan onto your serving plate.
Now youโre prepped with a gorgeous set of tasty pork chops for 4! But if youโve looked through these steps and found out that you might be missing an ingredient or two, Iโve got you covered!ย

My pleasure. Thank you for trying my recipes.
Belle says
Thanks for the recipe! This was so good! I doubled the meat and the soy sauce and reduced the water to 1 cup and added some garlic as well. I feel like I could still have kept the soy sauce to 5 tbsp for 8 pork chops and it still would have been fine, but may not be as flavorful? I simmered for 55 minutes as I kept going back and forth on how low the heat should be. At any case, thanks again! Would definitely be making it again.

Mary Grace Huang says
I made this for dinner and my husband loved it! Especially the onion, its his first time to taste Filipino Pork Steak.. BTW, what soy sauce can I use for this dish, today I used a mixture of light, dark, Singapore, and Japanese Soy sauce.. They all have different taste and smell, I can’t decide which one so I added a bit of them. Thank you so much….
