1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
1/4 cup mirin

1 pound hanger steak or pork
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Stir together all finadene ingredients (through chopped garlic) in a small bowl. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Set skillet to medium-high; whisk in mirin and sake until smooth. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry vinegar, garlic, scallions, ginger, and peppercorns; cook, stirring often, 15 minutes. Set sauce aside for basting.
  • Sprinkle steak pieces with salt and pepper. Thread steak pieces onto 8 (12-inch) skewers. Brush with basting sauce; let stand at room temperature while grill preheats.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Look for well-marbled steak or pork, and use fresh Maui onions and pineapple.
  • Be sure to thinly slice the steak or pork against the grain. This will help it cook evenly and tenderize it.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the steak or pork. This will cause it to steam instead of sear, resulting in less flavor.
  • Cook the steak or pork over high heat until it is browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent it from drying out.
  • Let the steak or pork rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the steak or pork with the Maui onion-finadene sauce. This sauce is a perfect complement to the rich flavor of the meat.

Conclusion:

Pulehu steak or pork with Maui onion-finadene sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The steak or pork is cooked to perfection and the sauce is flavorful and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
