Variations

The Americas

Bistec encebollado is a Spanish dish that can be found in all former Spanish colonies, including the Caribbean islands of Cuba, Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.

Regional variations include: bistec de palomilla in Cuba, bistec ranchero in Mexico, bistec a caballo (topped with hogao and a fried egg) in Colombia, and bistec a lo pobre (served with fried plantain, fried eggs, fries, and rice) in Peru.

Philippines

The Filipino version is called bistek Tagalog, a dish made of strips of salted and peppered sirloin beef, usually flattened with a meat tenderizing tool, slowly cooked in soy sauce, calamansi juice, garlic and onions, a specialty of the Tagalog region.[1] The onions are usually cut into rings, and are added raw when the dish is either already cooked, or almost cooked for the onions to soften but maintain its crunchiness. Bistek Tagalog is known in the Spanish-speaking world as bistec encebollado or bistec tagalo. It is usually anglicized in Philippine English as "beefsteak".

A variation of bistek in the Philippines is bistek na baboy ("pork bistek") or "porksteak", in which pork—pork chops or pork belly slices—is used instead of beef.

gollark: It could use something like HTTP, but over the eminently superior QUIC, and with headers being easier to parse S-expressions (or maybe with a binary encoding).
gollark: If we have a shiny new™ thing with no legacy APIs whatsoever, a more coherent interface, and S-expressions in all places, it could work.
