Bistek is a savory and tangy Filipino dish traditionally made with beef steak, but this variation uses pork chops. Braised in a flavorful mix of soy sauce, calamansi, and garlic, it's topped with crispy onion rings and served over fluffy white rice. A delightful, comforting meal reminiscent of home cooking.

1: Season the pork chops with SPG and marinate in Bistek sauce for at least 30 minutes. 2: Slice slits along the edge of the pork to prevent curling. 3: Mix the Bistek sauce ingredients (soy sauce, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper, chicken bouillon, patis fish sauce, sugar, corn starch) well. 4: Sear both sides of the marinated pork chops over high heat. 5: Add the remaining marinade, cover, and braise the pork chops for at least 30 minutes. 6: Slice the potatoes thinly and fry them until crispy while the chops are braising. 7: For the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the sliced onion rings to the pork until softened.
