Hawaiian Beef Jerky Pipikaula Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Pound steak on both sided with mallet and cut into 1/2 inch strips
  • Combine marinade ingredients and marinate beef strips overnight. Place beef on rack in shallow roasting pan and bake at 150 degrees to dry about 4 hours. The timing is dependent on the thickness of your beef slices. You want to be able to bend it slightly and easily. You can actually use any type of inexpensive beef. I always make LARGE batches of this since the family can't get enough of it. So that being said....mix the ingredients to your taste. Play with it and have fun in the process!!

    Since I've never tried pipikaula before, I'm not sure how what I made would measure up to the real thing. I found this recipe uninspired for flavour. First, I would have thought with the Soya Sauce there would have been enough salt in the mix. After this though, I'm thinking the beef needed a bit of a salt hit, not to get it saltier, but to bring out more beef flavour at the start. Next, I was worried it could be pretty spicy, maybe too hot for us, given the ginger and all the red pepper components. Not so at all, I found it pretty tame in the heat department. If I ever made this again, I think I'd treat the ginger the same way as the garlic and thus get some ginger bits directly on the meat. As it was, I followed the recipe and ended up with "thumbs" of smashed ginger. Which I didn't throw out, I dried them just like the beef. A few nibbles of those ginger bits will certainly wake your taste buds up.

    Finally, a picture to go with the recipe!!!! My family likes the jerky on the thick side so it is full of flavor and chewy. Of course if you're going to make this much you will have to increase the ingredients. Me???? I just pour and add the ingredients to taste so I suggest you do the same. Make sure you marinade at least for 2 days in the fridge turning every half day. This way all the beef gets a good soak!!!

    I have a similar recipe. I love the addition of sugar and the hot pepper. I've just been using pepper flakes. I have a smoker and a dehydrator. Your recipe has motivated me to make a batch. Thanks!

    Thanks Invisiblechef!! In Hawaii we had drying boxes. wood framed and enclosed with a wire mesh you would pick up at a home improvement store. This would keep flies and other bugs out. You would place the beef in the dry box and hang outside in the great warm weather. Of course this process took days but mmmmmm, I can taste it now
