Beef Steak

With the help of the pressure cooker, even the "gummiest" beef shank can be turned into sirloin! Tired of my usual beef recipe, Caldereta, I tried "pressuring" my shanks and produced this recipe. This one's kinda overcooked. The kids drool over this, anyway.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 kg beef shank, cut into thin slices
• juice from 6 pcs of calamansi
• 1/4 c soy sauce
• 1/2 c water
• salt and pepper
• bay leaf (laurel)
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1 big onion, sliced into rings
• 1 small potato, cut into wedges
  

Directions:

1. Pressurize the beef with the first seven ingredients for 20-30 minutes
2. Meanwhile, fry the potato and onion separately. Set aside.
3. When the beef is done, stir fry the beef until brown in color in the remaining oil.
4. Add the sauce from boiling the beef until it thickens or evaporates.
5. Add the potato and simmer for five minutes.
6. Top with onions before serving.
