Pork Chop Steak ala Bistek is a version of bistek tagalog using pork chop. This is a simple straightforward version wherein pork chops are marinated in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic powder, lime, and ground black pepper. It is then pan fried and cooked until tender. Sliced of onions (also called onion rings) are added towards the end of the cooking process.

I likePork Chop Steak ala Bistek because it is easy to cook and the result tastes good. This is perfect for both beginners and intermediate cooks. Note that I had more onions for this recipe in order for the dish to be tastier. I personally love to have more onions in dishes such as this.

As I mentioned earlier, the pork chop needs to be marinated; 3 hours is the minimum time that I recommend, but it is ideal to marinate overnight for better results. When it comes to the onions, feel free to use yellow or white onions. I’m using red onions for this recipe because these are on sale at my local supermarket. It is always good to save money on ingredients.

Enjoy this with a cup of warm rice. I know that the fatty part of the pork chop is delicious (especially if its extra tender), but take it easy and eat in moderation. Happy cooking! Enjoy!
