So it will be a steak on the barbie, accompanied by poke and a slightly altered version of sweet potato salad to take out the things I don't like and add things I do.
It's likely to be Monday before I can do this, as I am up to both ears with a grandson today, and tomorrow is son-in-law's birthday dinner and he's requested pork tenderloin.
Might I humbly suggest Hawaiian Steak? It should marinate for a day before grilling. It's apparently popular, however, I don't know if it suits your taste or if ingredients are in your pantry.
For the sweet potato salad, the sweet curry powder they refer to is probably S&B brand from Japan. You can get away with using whatever spice mix you like, even make your own, but, this brand guarantees a distinct Japanese type of flavor that is super-popular in Hawaii. (it's not very hot at all)
