Filipino cuisine has a unique fusion of flavors influenced by different cultures like Chinese, Spanish, and Malay. A typical Filipino breakfast consists of a variety of dishes like rice, eggs, milkfish, or beef tapa. Beef steak is a popular breakfast dish in the Philippines, and this recipe uses sirloin which is a lean cut of beef that is not too pricey. The steak is flavored with garlic and sugar which creates a savory and slightly sweet taste. This dish is hearty, filling, and easy to make.

Instructions

1.	Rub salt on both sides of steak, and then let it rest for at least an hour.
2.	Mix garlic, brown sugar and black pepper in a small bowl
3.	Preheat a grill or iron skillet to high heat
4.	Rub garlic and sugar mix on both sides of steak
5.	Place the steak on the grill/skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. For a medium-rare steak, cook to an internal temperature of about 130°F.
6.	Let the steak rest for 5 minutes
7.	Slice thinly against the grain and serve with sunny side up eggs and rice
