The slices of beef are first marinated in a mixture of vinegar, soy sauce, salt, sugar, black pepper and garlic overnight and then pan-fried. The resulting dish was perfectly fried beef that looked incredibly appetizing and tasty. The beef was so flavorful because it was marinated overnight. My family and I enjoyed this all-time favorite with a simple Java rice, slices of tomato and cucumber. The meal was satisfyingly delicious and reminded me of the time when I was still in the Philippines. Enjoy!
