Our fave in Waikiki is Hy's where they grill over Kiawe charcoal
Dad used to drive us to the barn and then speed up as the road descended into the valley. The road took a quick downward dip, and we'd be monetarily lifted up off the car seat. He called it a belly tickler. Great fun in the days before seat belts.

Flank Steak Marinade
My father broiled flank steak “back in the day” when it was an
inexpensive cut of beef used mostly in long braises. His secret was an
acidic marinade that permeated the meat, rather than just coating the
surface as is the case with 9 out 10 recipes. As my father would say, if
you don’t like your steak on the rare side, you’re not invited. It
remains one of my favorite steaks to prepare at home because it has the
beefiest flavor and most appealing texture. I also enjoy the family
style service from a plate piled high with juicy slices rather than the
boring “cut it yourself” steakhouse style. The sliced meat also pairs
well with Asian and Latin unlike whole steak.
Marinate the flank steak for no more than 3 hours in the refrigerator (or 1 hour on the counter if you’re rushed). Grill the meat over very high heat for no more than 5 minutes. If the cross hatch of grill marks is your thing, rotate the steak 45 degree after 2 ½ minute, flip it over at 5 minutes, rotate again at 7 ½ minutes and then remove it from the grill at 10 minutes or when it just springs back when pressed with your finger. Let it rest for 10 minutes covered with a piece of aluminum foil.
Slice the meat on the diagonal against the grain in slices no more than 1/8” thick. Top the sliced steak with some splashes of the reserved marinade just before serving. Arrange on a serving platter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Suggestions: Sprinkle with Fajita Seasoning, add a squeeze of lime and you will have some awesome beef to wrap in Tortillas. Also, it’s great the next day for steak sandwiches.

Killer Blackened Fish Recipe
Here in Hawaii, blackened fish can still be found in many restaurants. It is the perfect dry rub for our Island Fish like Mongchong. If I recall correctly, The Yardhouse in Waikiki has Blackened Mongchong on their menu. If you can't get over there anytime soon, try this recipe at home.

Blackening spice directions and ingredients plus details on blackening fish in a hot skillet.
Ingredients
- 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1/2 Teaspoon Dried Basil
- 1/2 Teaspoon White Pepper
- 2 Teaspoon Paprika
- 2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 Teaspoon Onion Powder

- 1/2 Teaspoon Smoked Salt
- 1/2 Teaspoon Black Pepper Fresh Ground
- 1/2 Teaspoon Brown Sugar Light Brown
- 1 Teaspoon Furikake with Wasabi
Recipe for bulk blackening seasoning
This stuff is expensive when you buy small portions. We love to blacken a sashimi grade Tuna and serve it rare on the inside, but blackened on the crust. A great idea to make a large batch and store it in the freezer.
