Bistek Silog as a tasty lunch meal combination that I can eat every day.
The combo meal is composed of Bistek Tagalog – which is also known as Filipino Beef Steak, Sinangag na Kanin or garlic fried rice, and fried eggs.
This is not your usual “Silog” meal, so throw this idea out in the open for you to experience this meal the same way with this.
How to Make Toasted Garlic
Topping some toasted garlic on your arroz caldo is highly recommended before serving. You will need the following: 1/2 cup garlic, minced and 1/2 cup cooking oil.
Pour the oil in a pan then turn on the stove
Put-in the garlic immediately (make sure that the oil is not hot enough to fry the garlic)
Adjust the heat of the stove to “low” and wait until the garlic turns golden brown (or medium brown if desired)
Drain the oil and place in a bowl with a paper towel or tissue
Use when needed.
