Ingredients
- 70g Beef, grass-fed, ground, raw
- 80g Onions, raw
- 90g Endive, raw (used as boats)
- 5g Cajun Seasoning (for smoky depth)
- 5g Garlic, raw, minced
- 15g Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.3g Olive oil
Method
- 01In 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.
- 02Add the minced onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent and slightly charred at the edges, absorbing the beef fat.
- 03Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the mixture, tossing constantly to bloom the spices and create a smoky aroma.
- 04Remove from heat and stir in the fresh lime juice immediately to deglaze the pan and add the essential bright acidity typical of Filipino sisig.
- 05Separate the endive leaves and arrange them like small cups on a serving plate.
- 06Spoon 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.
