Pipikaula

Pipikaula is Hawaiian dried beef. Traditionally seasoned and dried in the Sun, but since it’s fall and I’m in Minnesota, I dry it in a low oven (175F – convection) for 7 hours. Seasoning varies, but I use flank steak marinated for at least 72 hours in a mix of soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili pepper, keawe liquid smoke and tenderquick. Black pepper sprinkled on when it goes in the oven. Comes out more like a tender beef jerky.

In the general realm of BBQ. I usually make 5 to 10 pounds a time. Disappears really quick with beer. Sometime I might try some in my smoker to see how it turns out.
