Cooking BISTEK Tagalog for my best friends & family!

After falling in love with Filipino food, I decided it was finally time to try making Bistek Tagalog at home. My lifelong best friend Jake recently returned from the Philippines, so while we cooked together, we talked about Filipino culture, barangays, community, travel, and why sharing food brings people together. This wasn't about making the perfect recipe—it was about learning, having fun, and discovering why Filipino cuisine has captured my heart. I hope you enjoy the conversation as much as the food, and if you have your own family recipe or cooking tips, I'd love to hear them in the comments!
