Ingredients:

1 pound beef sirloin, sliced ¼-inch thick
½ cup Sun Tropics^® Pure Calamansi
⅓ cup dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 yellow large onions, sliced into rings
2 Tablespoons cooking oil

Directions:

1. Cut beef into ¼-inch strips. Using a meat tenderizer, pound beef for two minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
2. In a non-reactive bowl (non-metal), mix Pure Calamansi, soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic. Add meat to marinade and coat evenly. Leave for 30 minutes.
3. In a large skillet, add one tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Stir fry the onion rings until they begin to brown and become translucent. Remove from skillet and set aside.
