PULEHU FLANK STEAK
With Dad’s Sunday Potatoes And Nalo Greens

With A Kona Orange Vinaigrette

* 11/2 pounds flank steak For Marinade:
* 1 lemon (juiced)
* 3/4 cup Aloha shoyu
* 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
* 21/2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
* 2 cloves garlic (grated)
* 1 tablespoon sambal olek (prepared chili sauce)
* 1 green onion (chopped)
* 2 sprigs dill weed
* 1/2 teaspoon celery seed


Mix all marinade ingredients in a large pan or dish; add steak and marinate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight in refrigerator for best results. Grill steak over medium to medium-high heat until your suitable temperature is achieved - approximately 5 minutes on each side will achieve a rare temperature. Remove from heat and let stand for approximately 5-8 minutes before slicing. This will allow the meat to relax and redistribute the juices into the interior of the steak. Slice steak across the grain; preferably at a 45 degree cut.

For Dad’s Sunday Potatoes:

* 2 large russet potatoes
* 4 tablespoons salad oil
* salt and pepper, to taste

Wash and peel potatoes and slice lengthwise one quarter of an inch. Heat oil in a large skillet to medium heat. Pat the potatoes with a paper towel until completely dry. Place the potatoes in the heated oil and let cook until each side is golden brown and you can poke a fork in with ease. Remove potatoes from skillet and drain on a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper immediately after removing from heat.

For Kona Orange Vinaigrette:
* 2 cups Kona orange juice (freshly squeezed)
* 1/2 cup rice vinegar
* 2 minced shallots
* 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
* 1 teaspoon each grated ginger and garlic
* 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
* salt and pepper, to taste
* 11/2 teaspoons sugar


In a saucepan, bring the orange juice to a boil, bring down the heat to medium and reduce the orange juice by 50 percent. When done, set aside and let cool. In a mixing bowl add the reduced orange juice, sugar, vinegar, shallots, mustard, ginger and garlic. Slowly drizzle the olive oil into the mixture while stirring briskly with a wire whip. Mix until all the olive oil has incorporated and seasoned to your liking. Pour over your favorite greens or salad.
