Here is a very popular and full of flavor dish that will be sure to bring you back to the islands. I am sure you will not find this type of flavor in most of the parts of the mainland.




Ingrediants:

3lb. korean style beef short ribs (if cant find around your area, thin sliced beef for jerky will work as well

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 tbsp. sugar

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 inch piece ginger root(grated)

2 stalks green onion

1 ripe mango(cubed small)

1 ripe papaya(cubed small)

1 tbsp sesame oil

2 tbsp sesame seeds

1/4 cup water

salt

black pepper



Sauce:

combine all ingrediants, minus the beef in large bowl. Mix, taste, adding more salt, pepper, or sugar, until desired taste. Set some in anopther bowl and save for when the meat is done.



Prep:

Add the beef to the sauce, making sure all the beef gets covered. Soak for at least 4 hours, best if soaked over night.



Cooking:

Best if done on a grill. Cook til desired doneness. Dipping in sauce at least once throught. This meat will stay moist even if done well done. Some charing will occur, but dont worry, that is just the sugar caramalizing, just dont let it char too much. When all the meat is done, pour remaining sauce that the beef wasn't in over it, great for presentation as well, with all the cubed mango and papaya over it. Sauce that the meat was soaking in can be discarded.



You may cook this in a pan or broil as well.

• Easy And Tasty Beef Stew

Beef stew is a favorite in the Hawaiian islands. This beef stew is easy to make and very tasty as well. Also if you are not a rice eater, this dish is great for you to become a rice eater. This stew is great on rice.




Ingredients:

2 lb. stew meat

3 large carrots (cut in chunks)

3 stalks of celery (sliced in chunks)

2 large potatoes (cut in chunks)

1 small onion (cut in chunks)

1 can of stewed tomatoes

1 package of any beef stew seasoning

Browning seasoning

1 can tomato sauce(15oz)

water or chicken stock

salt

black pepper

garlic salt

2 bay leaves

flour



Preperation:

Powder stew meat with a little flour (this will thicken the stew as well), fry in the pot you will be using for stew, not much, just to brown the outer part of the beef. Maybe a minute on medium high. Lower heat to medium, add tomato sauce, fill empty can with water or chicken stock, then add. Add the vegetables, the can of stewed tomatoes ( or fresh if desired), add the bay leaves, a few drops of browning seasoning(just to darken it), and add the stew mix. Stir until well blended. Add salt, pepper, garlic salt to suit your taste. Then bring it to a boil, lower heat to low, simmer covered for 3-4 hrs, or until everything is tender,stirring occassionally, adding water or chicken stock, if necessary.



If eating with rice, get your favorite type of rice and follow instructions, I always use calrose type rice, that is the sticky type that is usually used for sushi type recipes. Probably can be found in the asian section in any grocery store.



When done, all that is left to do is enjoy a great bowl of beef stew and rice. This is great for any busy person, it takes about 10-15 minutes to pepare, once you have it simmering, you can forget about it, minus the stirring occassionally. You will love the flavor of this stew.
