Teri Beef King

I grew up on Oahu. I can remember going to Kenny's Burger House in the Kam Shopping Center in Kalihi. Kenny's was there for almost a decade before McDonalds got to Hawaii, and in 2002 was replaced with a McDonalds. One dish Kenny's served was a Teri Beef King sandwich. This is my rendition. I know some people had other things on theirs, but I was a kid and a purist. I had the meat, onion, and bun.

Ingredients:
Thin sliced raw beef roast, marinated in my Teriyaki sauce marinade over night.
(I have the butcher shave or thin slice a roast)
Fresh thin sliced yellow onion
Hamburger Buns
Butter

Directions:
Cook marinated meat and onions together, in a skillet. This caramelizes the onions. in teriyaki sauce. Butter bun face and place face down in a hot skillet to toast and crisp the bun surface. Assemble and enjoy. Serve hot.

Dried Tomato Sauce or Paste

Put dry tomatoes in a blender and make into a powder. Add water to desired thickness. Add herbs to taste. Basil, garlic, oregano, are good herbs. Great for soup too.

Donna's Teriyaki Sauce Marinade

This is an Island style teriyaki recipe from my youth in Hawaii.
Makes 1 cup

Marinade Ingredients:

2/3 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger or fresh grated ginger
1 crushed clove garlic

Directions:

Combine the above ingredients and mix well. To keep in the refrigerator for later use– heat to just below boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar and prevent burning, cool and then pour into a bottle.

Marinating Directions:

Marinate chicken, beef, pork, turkey, or seafood for 30 minutes or longer (overnight is best). Meat may be frozen with marinade, and will marinate the meat, as it thaws in the fridge. Cook meat as usual. Grill, bake, braise (in a lid covered pan), broil, or cook in a frying pan.
