Liver Bistek

Liver Bistek
Liver Bistek Tagalog Style is another popular karinderia Pinoy dish. It is an adaptation from the beef bistek Tagalog. The beef is replaced with pork or beef liver. When cooked right this dish is delicious, it is however an acquired dish to some. Cooking the liver bistek is basically the same with the usual bistek which uses beef. The slices of liver are first marinated with the mixture of soy sauce and kalamansi with garlic.

Liver Bistek Recipe

For my version I discarded the marinade after used, I wanted to get rid of the unpleasant flavors of the blood that have washed off the liver to the marinade. After frying the livers it is also important that all the frying scum residue is remove from the wok, we do not want all those ugly bits sticking on the liver or floating in the sauce. Here is the recipe.

Ingredients:

1/2 kilo pork liver, cut into thin slices
2 medium size onion, sliced into rings
1/2 head garlic, chopped
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup kalamansi juice
1 tsp. peppercorn, crushed
cooking oil

Cooking procedure:
