Pipikaula Poke from Tamura's Market. Paniolo (Cowboy in the Hawaiian Language) were first introduced to Hawaii in the early 1800's. As the beef industry grew in the Hawaiian Islands, local-style was added into the mix. Pipikaula is a local-style dried beef dish, very similar to beef jerky. Pipikaula (Beef Rope in the Hawaiian Language) consists of strips of beef that are marinated in spices and soy sauce and then placed in Hawaiian-style drying boxes. Drying boxes were also used to dry fish and other seafoods in the fierce Hawaiian sun.
