The Filipino version is called ''bistek Tagalog'', a dish made of strips of [[salt]]ed and [[Black pepper|peppered]] [[sirloin]] beef, usually flattened with a meat tenderizing tool, slowly cooked in [[soy sauce]], [[calamansi]] juice, garlic and onions, a specialty of the [[Katagalugan|Tagalog region]].<ref>[http://southeastasianfood.about.com/od/meatrecipes/r/BistekTagalog.htm Filipino Fried Steak - Bistek Tagalog Recipe] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140412060810/http://southeastasianfood.about.com/od/meatrecipes/r/BistekTagalog.htm |date=April 12, 2014}}</ref> The onions are usually cut into rings, and are added raw when the dish is either already cooked, or almost cooked for the onions to soften but maintain its crunchiness. ''Bistek Tagalog'' is known in the [[Hispanidad|Spanish-speaking world]] as ''bistec encebollado'' or ''bistec tagalo''. It is usually [[anglicized]] in [[Philippine English]] as "beefsteak".

A variation of ''bistek'' in the Philippines is ''bistek na baboy'' ("pork ''bistek''") or "[[Pork steak|porksteak]]", in which pork—[[pork chop]]s or [[pork belly]] slices—is used instead of beef.
