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 seems very conspiracy-theoretic and pointless.
gollark: No particular reason, like other things? I don't think we're at a point where every detail of movies is ruthlessly microoptimized for audience appeal yet.
gollark: Your evidence for that intent is just the weak thing of "apparently-satanic stuff appears in movies sometimes".
gollark: Which you can't demonstrate, yes.
