Wagyu Flank Steak Pipikaula Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Marinate the Steak

   In a bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, black pepper, sesame oil, and red chili flakes. Add the flank steak and marinate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

2. 2

   Prepare the Spicy Tomato Sambal

   In a saucepan, combine diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Cook over medium heat until tomatoes soften and flavors meld, about 10-15 minutes.

3. 3

   Cook the Steak

   Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

4. 4

   Prepare the Hanalei Poi

   If using pre-packaged poi, simply follow the instructions on the package. For homemade poi, mix cooked taro with water to achieve desired consistency.

5. 5

   Serve

   Slice the flank steak against the grain and serve with spicy tomato sambal and seasoned Hanalei poi on the side.
