Pork Bistek
Marinate strips of pork tenderloin (about 1 kilo) in 1 cup soy sauce, 3 cloves crushed garlic, a dash of black pepper and lemon juice. Leave for at least an hour. Marinating it overnight will do too.
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the pork till tender, then set aside. In the same pan, saute 2 onions (I like mine in rings). When translucent, put the pork strips back in along with the marinade. Add water if you want it saucier. I put about 1/4 cup of water in. Next time though I’ll put in some more because we wanted a saucier dish. Don’t forget to taste it!
Buttered Beans
Melt butter in a pan. Stir in a handful of baguio beans for 1 to 2 minutes.
Serve the pork and greens side by side. Eat with hot rice. Yummy. This is one of my favorite dishes and now one of H’s favorites too. 
Kain na!

Another way to do it is to fry the onion rings muna till they’re almost wilted, then take them out, then fry the pork. I like that the sweet onion juices are left on the pan and then mingle with the pork. Baka imagination ko nga lang yun hehehe.
