Best 4 Umekes Pulehu Beef Salad Recipes

JITLADA'S THAI BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, black pepper, 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 1 tablespoon sugar. Place the beef in a large bowl and rub with the mixture. Allow the beef to marinate for a couple minutes.
• Add butter or oil to a pan and place the pan over high heat. Cook the meat until the surface begins to caramelize, 4 minutes per side for medium-rare. Continue cooking until the meat reaches the desired doneness. Let the meat rest on a cutting board.
• Meanwhile, crush the chiles and garlic with a mortar and pestle. Then, in a large bowl, combine the crushed garlic and chiles, lime juice, shrimp paste, remaining tablespoon sugar and remaining tablespoon fish sauce and mix until well combined. Thinly slice the cooled beef and toss with the dressing. Add the scallions, cucumbers and onions and toss to combine. Add the tomatoes, tossing carefully so they don't smash. Arrange the salad on a large plate, then top with the cilantro and serve with the lettuce either on the side or placed directly under the beef.

UMEKES LUAU OYSTERS

Steps:

• Boil taro leaves in a saucepan with 4 quarts water for about an hour. Taste to check if the leaves make your mouth itchy. If it does, you need to cook down the leaves down longer. If not, put the leaves in a strainer and press out the water. Set aside.
• In a pot, add butter, garlic and taro leaves and cook down, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add coconut milk and mix well.
• Preheat a salamander or broiler to 375 degrees F.
• Top oysters with the taro sauce mixture.
• Sprinkle Parmesan and panko on each oyster.
• Broil until cheese is melted and panko is crisp, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

SPINACH AND BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• In a bowl combine the steak, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and pepper. Let marinate 15 minutes. Warm a nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until it is hot. Add the steak, marinade, and salt, and cook, stirring, just until the meat is no longer pink (be careful not to overcook). With a slotted spoon transfer the steak to a plate. Add the remaining oil to the skillet and warm it over moderately high heat until hot. Add the mushrooms and salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.
• In a salad bowl combine the steak, mushrooms along with any pan juices, and spinach leaves, tossing gently to combine.
• For the dressing: In a bowl whisk together the vinegar, mustard, lemon pepper, and salt to taste. Add the oil, in a stream, whisking until combined well. Whisk in the herbs. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. Serve with grilled or toasted bread.

SPICY BEEF SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare grill and cook beef strips 4 to 6 minutes for medium rare, or to desired doneness, turning once. (Or simply use leftover grilled steak, cut into thin strips.) Place in a large bowl and toss with cucumber slices.
• In another bowl, combine dressing ingredients and mix well. Add to beef and cucumbers and toss to coat. Arrange romaine leaves on a serving platter and spoon beef salad on top. Sprinkle green onions over the salad and serve room temperature or cold.
