The ratio of branching fractions for \mbox{$K^- \to e^- \bar{\nu}_e \pi^0$} and \mbox{$K^- \to \pi^- \pi^0$} decays has been measured using the ISTRA+ spectrometer. The result of our measurement is the following: $$\mathcal{R}_{K_{e3}/K_{2\pi}} = 0.2423 \pm 0.0015\,\mbox{\rm (stat)} \pm 0.0037\,\mbox{\rm (syst)}.$$ Using the current PDG value for the $K_{2\pi}$ branching fraction, this result leads to the measured $K_{e3}$ branching fraction of $Br(K_{e3}) = 0.0501 \pm 0.0009$ and to the value of $|V_{us}|\,f_+(0) = 0.2115 \pm 0.0021$.
