Sizzling Tuna Sisig

Sizzling Tuna Sisig is a version of the popular Filipino sisig wherein tuna steaks sliced into small cubes are used instead of minced pork. This dish is served over a hot metal plate (also referred to as sizzling plate) and topped with crushed chicharon. It is served with chili pepper and lime or calamansi. This dish is can be consumed as a main dish with rice. It an also an ideal appetizer or pulutan.

Simple and quick are the two words that best describes how to cook Sizzling Tuna Sisig. The process is straightforward and not complicated. It also takes less than 30 minutes complete. I used tuna steaks for this recipe. It is best to get fresh tuna if it is available in your location. Otherwise, frozen tuna will do too. Make sure that the fish has been thawed (defrosted) first before you start the process.

The first thing that I did was to slice the fish into small cubes. It was arranged in a bowl and then I poured a good amount of Knorr Liquid Seasoning to serve as the marinade. This ingredient is all I needed to make my tuna cubes taste great. It is very convenient. This is one of the reasons why I make sure to always have a stock in my kitchen.

Marinating only takes a maximum of 10 minutes. Because the fish was sliced into smaller pieces, the marinade can quickly penetrate it. The next thing to do is to start cooking. I first melted some butter on a pan and started to brown the marinated tuna.I then added all the other ingredients one step at a time. Note that this recipe makes use of chicharon (crispy pork rinds) to add a bit of crunch to the dish. I also used a tablespoon of Lady’s Choice mayonnaise because it helps makes my Sizzling Tuna Sisig richer, creamier, and thicker.

The final part of the process requires the metal plate. Make sure to first heat the plate before adding the butter and tuna sisig. The hot temperature of the plate will help provide a better sizzling effect once the butter and tuna sisig are added. This should be served right away for best results.
