Bistek Tagalog ala Nanay Lydia One of my family's go-to-meal is Nanay Lydia's (Grandma) Bistek Tagalog. Nanay passed down her recipe to her Siblings and to us Grandchildrens before she left us. It is not only a blessing that we learned her way of cooking the classic bistek tagalog but also a gift that we can share to many people. Nanay's Bistek is so simple yet packed with heartfelt flavor. With its cheap and readily available ingredients that you can buy in the wet market or the supermarket, you can create a wonderful Bistek Tagalog.
