Beef Tapa

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds beef round or chuck, sliced thinly against the grain
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 head garlic, minced
• Canola or any cooking oil for frying

Procedure:

1 Mix together all the ingredients except the cooking oil. Blend well to coat beef thoroughly with the liquids and seasonings.

2 Cover and let marinate inside the refrigerator for minimum of 4 hours, or even overnight.

3 To cook, drain first the excess liquid from the marinade so the beef will fry and not boil in its own liquid.

4 Heat up the oil in the pan, fry the beef in batches.

5 Serve with Fried Rice, Fried Egg and a side of cut tomatoes.
