This is a bowl of marinated beets and rice, but it’s also one of our best sellers at Beefsteak. Charisse Dickens, our amazing Hawaiian chef and a dear friend who manages a lot of our R&D, cringes a bit when we use the word poke to describe these beets. To her, poke is marinated fish, the dish that has started showing up everywhere across the United States these past few years, and that’s it. I told her we could call this marinated beets and rice, but then it would only be half as popular at Beefsteak.

Note:

While there are dozens of varieties of furikake (a Japanese seasoning mix), most contain dried fish or shellfish. To make this dish vegan, swap it out for gomasio, a Japanese sesame seed–based condiment.
