  • 300 to 500 grams beef round or pork thigh
  • 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp. MSG
  • 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
  • your choice of garnishing e.g., sauteed frozen mixed vegetables, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms

Instructions

For the meat preparation:

  • Cut all ligaments on surface. Slice diagonally, 3" thick and slit in middle to make 1 1/2" thick.
  • Pound meat with back of knife or sprinkle with meat tenderizer to make it tender before marinating.
  • You may also use unripe papaya juice as tenderizer.

How to cook Sizzling Steak:

  • Marinade that meat for at least half an hour with Worcestershire sauce, MSG and pepper.
  • Grill the steak over hot charcoal. Brush griller with a little oil first before putting on steak.
  • When grilling do not press the meat so as to squeeze out the meat's juice.
  • Also, brush meat with a little oil before turning to grill on the other side of the meat.
  • Meanwhile, while waiting for the steak to cook, heat the steak's steel plate on another stove.
  • Arrange garnishing on a platter, so you can immediately transfer steak from the griller to the hot platter.
  • The steak will sizzle when placed on the hot platter. Serve at once.

Notes

Cooking Tips:

Marinate for Maximum Flavor

The secret to a tender and flavorful steak dish lies in the marinade. Allow the meat to soak in Worcestershire sauce, MSG, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors penetrate deeply. This step not only enhances taste but also helps tenderize the steak, ensuring a melt-in-your-mouth experience with every bite.

Avoid Pressing the Steak While Grilling

One of the biggest mistakes when grilling is pressing down on the steak. This squeezes out the precious juices that keep the meat moist and flavorful, leaving it dry. Let the grill do its job, flipping the steak only once to achieve a perfect sear without losing its juiciness.

Preheat the Sizzling Plate Properly

A sizzling plate isn’t just for show—it’s key to the dish’s appeal. Heat the plate over a separate burner until it’s scorching hot, so the steak sizzles dramatically when served. This not only keeps the steak warm but also enhances its aroma, making the dining experience more exciting.
