Instructions

1

In a preheated non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add a light mist of olive oil and brown the ground beef. Break it apart with a spatula until it is deeply seared and crispy.

2

Add the minced onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and slightly charred at the edges, absorbing the beef fat.

3

Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the mixture, tossing constantly to bloom the spices and create a smoky aroma.

4

Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice immediately to deglaze the pan and add the essential bright acidity typical of Filipino sisig.

5

Separate the endive leaves and arrange them like small cups on a serving plate.

6

Spoon a generous portion of the savory beef mixture into each endive boat. Serve immediately while warm, ensuring the crunch of the endive contrasts with the tender, seasoned beef.
