Pipikaula
Pipikaula is a delicious Hawaiian dish made from salted and dried beef. The beef is marinated in a special blend of seasonings, like soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sometimes even sugar, before being air-dried or smoked to perfection. Pipikaula is often enjoyed as a snack or as part of a larger meal.
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef (such as top round or flank steak)
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger minced
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Start by slicing the beef into thin strips, around 1/4 inch thick. You can partially freeze it for easier slicing.
- In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, minced ginger, minced garlic, and black pepper. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
- Place the beef strips into the marinade, making sure they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to soak in.
- Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) or prepare a smoker if you prefer a smoky flavor. If using an oven, place a wire rack on a baking sheet lined with foil to catch any drippings.
- Remove the beef strips from the marinade and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- If using an oven, arrange the beef strips on the wire rack. If using a smoker, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for smoking the beef.
- Brush the beef strips with a small amount of cooking oil to prevent them from sticking and place them in the oven or smoker.
- Bake or smoke the beef for 3-4 hours, or until it reaches your desired level of dryness. The pipikaula should be firm, chewy, and slightly crispy.
- Once cooked, remove the pipikaula from the oven or smoker and let it cool completely before serving.
