For this dish, we borrowed the flavors from bistek tagalog, a Filipino beef and onion braise seasoned with bay, soy sauce and calamansi (a type of citrus). Instead of using a slow simmer, we sear a couple strip steaks and make a quick, simple pan sauce; a combination of orange juice and lemon or lime juice stands in for tricky-to-source calamansi juice. Serve with steamed rice.
Don’t use a cast-iron skillet. The acidity in the citrus juices may react with the metal, resulting in a off-colored sauce with a metallic taste.
